Movie Reviews of Body of Lies (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: predictable because we've seen this kind of stuff plenty of times
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked Body of Lies, but honestly, all of us have probably seen similar movies that show Hollywood's take on the culture and the people of the Middle East with of course, the focus being on the frequent bombings, shootings, and dangerous settings that the terrorists are responsible for.
The only thing that separates Body of Lies from the rest is that Leonardo DiCaprio has proven to be a top-notch actor capable of portraying *anything*. He's seriously improved a LOT in my eyes over the years. 10 years ago I didn't particularly care for him as an actor- I've since changed my mind.
Anyway, he plays a CIA agent in this movie, while Russell Crowe's role has been *greatly* exaggerated in my opinion. His performance didn't impress me very much, like all the commercial previews led me to believe. This is definitely a Leonardo DiCaprio movie because he shines in the spotlight *much* more than anyone else.
Body of Lies is one of those movies that we've all seen before. You know what's going to happen when we're talking about American CIA agents and having them visit the Middle East- the CIA agent basically portrays the superhero that can withstand anything, you are treated to the many scenes showing the constant turmoil taking place is said areas (along with the rundown environments) and so on and so forth.
At least the story-telling in this film expanded from Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Syria (and sometimes America and the Netherlands).
Not a bad film, but we've seen it all before.
Summary of Body of Lies (Widescreen Edition)
The CIAs hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agencys man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky a satellite link watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIAs Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for survival. Leonardo DiCaprio (as Ferris) and Russell Crowe (as Hoffman) star in Body of Lies, adapted by William Monahan (The Departed) from the David Ignatius novel. Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Black Hawk Down) directs this impactful tale, orchestrating exciting action sequences and plunging viewers into a bold spy thriller for our time.Action & Adventure DVD Video
