Review of Body of Lies (2008) by Robwinz — 07 Aug 2020

Body Of Lies is a decent movie. The plot is interesting and it's pretty much about this CIA agent called Roger (Leonardo DiCaprio) who finds out about this major terrorist leader.

So him and his boss Ed (Russell Crowe) decide to make a plan to trap Al-Saleem but things don't go the right way, which they wanted them to go.

The movie's got some great acting from Roger (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Ed (Russell Crowe), those two are honestly great throughout this movie.

Also, the cinematography from Alexander Witt is average but he could capture the scenes a bit better than he already did.

The action sequences throughout this movie are very graphic and gory but they're really well made and they're well put together.

Finally, the other characters throughout this movie are very interesting but a lot of them are actually forgotten about.

The movie's got some very mixed pacing for the build ups. The pacing is pretty good for some of the moments but it can be pretty bad for some of the other moments in this movie.

Overall, Body Of Lies is a decent movie. The movie's got an interesting plot, great acting, average cinematography, very graphic action sequences and some very hit and miss pacing for the build ups.
