For those of us who want movies to be about something and not just empty action with minimal shallow 'moral of the story' tacked on, Body of…

Review of Body of Lies (2008)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 26 Nov 2008

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 21 Nov 2008
