BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Edison Witt The first must-see film of the year.

merelyaninnuendo Body Of Lies2 Out Of 5Body 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.

gugan94 Body of lies the title itself tells you the movie is more about lies and it will be dealing around with the lies. How the lies will affect the person and his surrounding. The people in the higher position should tell lots of lies to convince everyone. This movie has remarkable performances from the lead actors. Leonarda as usual he has delivered a great performance. The movie has a lot of facts and they have researched more about the terrorist groups and fabricated properly. Ridley Scott has done a great job in coming with this script and delivering. The screenplay is a bit slow and in the end you will forget about the negatives. If you like dark genre or terrorist related movies this is a must watch movie for those audiences.

Owais Khan Apart from the good laugh I had from hearing Leonardo Dicaprio speaking Arabic as well as all the goofs in the movie, it really annoyed me how Hollywood had gone too far with the stereotypical image of the contemporary Arab world that is portrayed in current western media!I'm a Pakistani Muslim and according to Ridley Scott and his smart colleagues I might be considered as the worst kind of enemy! Haha! I really couldn't resist the urge to write about this… people like "Al-Saleem" (the Arabic Muslim "terrorist" in the movie) as well as al Qaeda, Bin Laden, Hamas… etc. are invented by the US government and Israel (with the help of the Arab leaders of course!) to serve Zionism and fool the Muslim youth. Such networks and groups act in the name of Islam (but they have nothing to do with it) and start looking for the poor, ignorant and naïve young men, they seduce them with lies and convince them that what they're doing is Jihad, and that's what they should do as Muslims. And that was evident in the movie.Poverty and ignorance is the enemy's weapon. Jihad has nothing to do with terrorism! This is what you should all know!Now as for the goofs:– Jordanian Intelligence building is similar to a spa resort!– in the last minutes of the movie Leonardo Dicaprio (the CIA agent) starts giving lessons about Islamic morals to the terrorists! Damn that was really funny!– What the hell was Aisha wearing on hair head when agent Ferris (Leonardo Dicaprio) came over her sister's house for dinner? Is that a mini Hijab or something?– The amount of men in the Jordanian streets wearing the traditional shmagh (a.k.a hatta) was funny too! I wish they still wear it in that amount! It's almost extinct! I only see it nowadays on sissy guys who wear colorful shmagh because it's à la mode!– oh! And when the hell did couscous became a traditional Jordanian dish?!?! The whole world knows that it's Moroccan! It seems that the economic crisis affected the research department in Hollywood!According To CIA World Factbook Major Religion percentages: Christians: 33.32%, Muslims: 21.01%, Hindus: 13.26%, Buddhists: 5.84%…etc.There are around 4,992,663,560 Muslims all around the world, of which there are 266,476,278 in the states itself. They're your doctors, your professors, your friends, your colleagues… engineers, lawyers, pharmacists, teachers, artists, athletes… they're normal people you meet everywhere! When will this east-west stupid conflict end? Khalas it's getting boring! And most importantly, all these terrorist attacks that has been going on all around the world since September 11th affected us.

Mohak Garg Body of lies is nice and dramatic depiction of intra agency politics and situation during a war with terrorists with a sprinkle of love story. The movie is a about a CIA spy who is placed in Jordan in order to get in-tel about the upcoming bombing in Europe by Al-Saleem a terrorist Al-Qaeda. DiCaprio is assisted by Russell Crow (his senior) and Mark Strong (local businessman) but is most of the time mislead by his own organization resulting obstructions in his operations, until the master plan is constructed and is ready executed, but it's a master plan not a perfect plan, now the story unfolds in a really thrilling way which is difficult to predict. The beginning of the movie was slow and viewer tends to get bored and if you are a impatient person you would probably give up the movie. Honestly speaking only my liking for DiCaprio made me stick to the screen for the first 50 minutes. Though a slow beginning was necessary to create a plot still it could have been a bit quicker. After the first hour the story becomes interesting and a bit of suspense arises. Unlike the first part the second part features more action less drama, introduction of the love story and some more action. Acting wise all the cast did well, DiCaprio stood up to his reputation but I was particularly impressed by Mark Strong who intensified the character to its requirement. The story was well connected and had no fault except the speed thing. The presentation was satisfying and all the blasts and violent scenes were convincing. The only major thing except the speed thing it lacked was thrill, I expected a lot more suspense but it served me a pinch of it. So, I would say that you have to be patient enough to watch this movie and if you enjoy drama then you must see it. I wouldn't consider my time wasted on this movie.
