Review of Body of Lies (2008) by Jennifer D — 15 Jan 2011
Oh Ridley, Ridley, Ridley. Why are you such a wild card with your films? This slightly reminded me of Man on Fire, but in the middle east. I decided to watch this film for Mr. DiCaprio and that is what I got. But I also REALLY loved Russell Crowe. Which doesn't surprise me, but I never really expected to get much of his character besides boring CIA guy. But he surprised me and provided a few little chuckles here and there.
I was entertained, but that's about all. As some other reviews said, and I agree with, it could have been a lot better. Especially with such powerhouse actors at work. They didn't fail Scott, he failed them.
