The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

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.

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

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.
