Neither Crowe nor DiCaprio do a bad job per se - but their very limited shared screen time bogs the film down. There are other complications in his way of course - explosions, double-crosses, car-chases and even love - and the plot permeates through all these items slowing everything down to a grinding halt.Ĭrowe plays a soccer dad, CIA HQ man calling the shots from his earpiece, computers and satellite imagery. He plays a CIA man in the Middle-East and essentially his plot point boils down to him on the trail of a hard to find terrorist bad guy. Of course he ain't gonna get them all right so I need to give him some slack - but this one falls on the wrong side. Body of Lies is not that special.ĭiCaprio is a good actor - you have to give him that - but I am not so sure about all his film choices.

So it needs to be a very special type of movie for me to give it the thumbs up. Political thrillers are not really my bag to be honest - I watch them but do I enjoy them? Not really. Reviewed by markymark70 6 / 10 / 10 Too Complicated and dull for my liking There's quite a lot to take in during the early stages of this movie and there's some well staged action scenes. Overall a well done movie.With fantastic editing and a well-structured story, Body of Lies is a dark, gritty, and complex spy thriller.Leonardo DiCaprio plays a CIA agent undercover in the Middle East, gathering intelligence on an Al-Qaida terrorist network, negotiating and double crossing with both the Jordanian security service and his CIA superior (a very snaky Russell Crowe). There are quite many things to keep track so pay extra attention to the story. action / drama and thriller moments mixed to a enjoyable movie. CIA tries to take down a terrorist leader. LEONARDO DICAPRIO was brilliant in this movie and he was ably supported by Russell Crowe.Mark Strong was strong(no pun intended) in the few scenes he was featured.The Thing that I like most about this film is its realism.The story was something i felt i have already seen before but quite interesting to follow.
