Feb 21, 2019 This movie is ridiculous underrated

Draco R Sep 22, 2018 The story doesn't stir things up much for expected thrilling entertainment when Ridley Scott's attempt into the espionage genre in similar visual environment seems to show that he was trying to figure out how to differentiate his usage of the conventions, including minimal backstabbing twists that only made things a little more convoluting than usual whilst remained unclear. Although it's generally tense and still engaging with rhythmic action pacing, courtesy of DiCaprio's performance then Crowe's since that's the quality that was most relied on towards successful results to find the film with a decent enjoyment level.

Theodore S Jul 2, 2018 a pretentious insight on the "cons and cons" of politics gone wrong.. Body Of Lies 2 Out Of 5 Body Of Lies is a plot driven feature whose thirst for delivering an exhilarating and complex mission is unable to express it to the viewers. There isn't a single lose thread of the plot that audience may feel the urge to hold on to, the makers not only fails to seek the viewers' attention but doesn't even convince them for a second look. It is short on technical aspects like choreography of the action or chase sequences, cinematography, sound department, art design, background score and editing. The writing is weak, raw and seems unsupervised especially since there was a lot of inessential and chalky material projected on screen. The adaption by William Monaghan isn't smart as it seems which creates the portal of loop which not only is stultifying but questionable at certain points. Ridley Scott; the director, inputs a lot of his tactics to save the ship from sinking but unfortunately everything is overstuffed and undercooked. The actors holds on to their roles and delivers a decent performance if not something out of the park especially by Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe and Oscar Isaac in his limited time that he has. Body Of Lies is a pretentious insight on the "cons and cons" of politics gone wrong and if considered a bigger picture, a feature gone wrong. See more

Rey S May 19, 2018 Despite Leonardo DiCaprio's captivating performance and Ridley Scott's beautifully shot action scenes, Body Of Lies remains a typically functional espionage film that will entertain during watching but becomes immediately forgettable right after. See more
