Body of Lies

Very long. Ending was underwhelming but had a cool storyline. Def watch zero dark thirty before this one and I’d only watch this if you love action thriller with war. 6.0/10

way too much informations for my brain but yeah

7/10

Ok

It’s been a good few years I last watched this one, although judging by my initial rating, my thoughts haven’t changed much on it.

It’s an interesting story, one that unfortunately will always feel timely. It all feels pretty dramatised for engagement, particularly early before calming itself down for a slow second act.

DiCaprio and Crowe do a very good job, couldn’t really take the Mark Strong casting especially seriously - storage choice. Some cool supports scattered throughout, big fan of what Oscar Isaac was able to do in a small amount of runtime.

Sits around the middle of Ridley Scott’s filmography for me. It’s far less passionate than a lot of his other, better work. Still a very good film - maybe I’ll watch it again in another 10 years.
