Body of Lies Reviews

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

1/10

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.

Dicaprio is good in everything

super good movie, cia be doing some wild stuff fr

great film with great director and great cast, scenes and plot are very good and that scene with braking fingers is stunning

Toooooo long

5/10

bad

There’s a lot of ups and downs. It felt like watching a series. In one way this makes it feel long but it prevents the storyline from being too linear; keeping it unique. Goated cast though

x1

I keep coming back to this movie to rewatch. Can’t even count how many times I’ve watched before I decided to have in my library. Very realistic. Set in the Middle East, CIA agent Leo DiCaprio is excellent, as he tries to take down terrorit leader Al-Salem. Mark Strong as Hank, Russell Crowe as Ed Hoffman, favorite of mine Oscar Isaac.

Mark Strong with hair is just something else, he stole the show for me and completely disappeared into his role

Spy movie that spy movies

Nothing but deceit and deception, so nothing to like, which actually leads to practically nothing.
Cleverly put together though

9/10
