Richie-67-485852 Look forward to thrills and if done right a nice two hour ride of entertainment. This is done right! Lets all acknowledge that our favorite stars are giving their best here as well as the Director. This team pulls off telling a good story that is believable and tense. The viewers attention span is never abused and there are some scenes that reach out and grab you and wont let go a good thing. Its interesting to note how powerful and respected (as well as hated) the CIA is. This organization can go into a country and wreck havoc and leave before that country even knows what hit it. This accounts for such hatred around the world for America. We use these forces and other special forces to make sure we get what we want just like the other fellow only we do it better. I particularly liked the use of Drones in this movie which demonstrate just how effective and powerful they are and will continue to be. There is no defense against them and they can be used for so many reasons. Right now we have superiority in this technology but it wont last. However look for anti-drone technology to enter into the arms race. Note the street life of the Middle Eastern countries full of outdoor cooking, heavy traffic and people coming and going non-stop. Also consider how in certain parts of the certain cities how devastating a bomb blast would be and there is no prevention against it either. That's why retribution is swift on those that do this cowardly act. I also found it interesting and "true" of how miscellaneous people send email congratulations to bombers who do a good job of blowing something up encouraging and praising them in the name of Islam? Sad but true as with any ancient manuscript it can be twisted and turned inside out and away from its original intent especially when dark forces prevail. The real Truth cannot be so easily manipulated but people can when it is mixed with lies. Keep this in mind the next time hindsight visits with you. Its telling you what you didn't know or do or not do after the fact proving that we know not what we do and need insight above all things. The world suffers from a lack of insight nicely portrayed in this movie as a reminder. Enjoy a hearty sandwich with a tasty drink and a snack is a must have or you may fidget or bite nails at some point of the thrill riding here. Enjoy

Brigid O Sullivan (wisewebwoman) Let me count the ways I hated it.Racist. USA the good guys catching the bad guys forever and ever amen.Leonard Di Caprio playing Ferris throws the credibility metre on high alert. Why on earth would he think his Iranian gf would not be a target for whatever enemy.Hard to track all those enemies wearing "towels" as per the CIA running all these operations from a bunker somewhere USA, it must look like a video game.I skipped a lot of scenes.The racism was rampant all through it. Crude, rude and hateful.Russell Crowe as the big cheese mouthed his hate and disconnect while dealing with his small children, kinda priceless watching that.All in all a waste of time, all the scenes looked like a movie set in the back of beyond, falling down in pieces with poverty everywhere. Except for Dubai.And script? Was done better in many other movies before it. They're all the same, it depends on the writers. And these failed.2 out of 10

Floated2 Body Of Lies is certainly a film about the world since that event. It's based on a 2007 novel by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, who has reported extensively on the Middle East. It's not acknowledged but I suspect both book and movie are also influenced by the recent rash of spy-and-tell books by former CIA agents. The best known of these is by Robert Baer, who left the agency in 1997 after 20 years. Baer was considered one of the best field officers in the Middle East. One of his complaints about the CIA was that it neglected real spy work on the ground in favor of electronic intelligence. It's more of a respectable second-rank thriller - intelligent but muddled, action-packed but thoughtful.

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.
