Body Of Lies review by Jawbreaker
Average Ridley
(2) of (5) members found this review helpful.
Body of Lies tries and ultimately fails to gel high-level political manoeuvrings with on the ground events in the volatile Middle East. Crowe plays Hoffman who is the handler for DiCaprio’s CIA operative. Both are trying to locate the leader of a terrorist group currently in the midst of a European bombing campaign. So they are both very much under pressure to identify and remove the threat as quickly as possible. While Hoffman operates in relative safety from home, the car or the office, DiCaprio has more tangible dangers to overcome. The interplay between the two main leads is good, although they share very little time onscreen together. Body Of Lies is a demonstration of technology but even more so that the old methods are still effective. For Ridley Scott this is merely just treading water, while I accept that politics and the Middle East are intertwined, a little more focus would have resulted in a better thriller.
