Review of Body of Lies (2008) by Lorraine B — 18 Jul 2010
The best I can say about this film is that it's not as racist as I thought it was going to be ... until I realized that the good Arab was played by Mark Strong, a Brit. Colonization continues!
All of that said, I do think there is a mild, ignorant attempt to understand and intelligently portray life in the Middle East, and there is an all-too-veiled, too flaccid criticism of Western relations with the Arab world.
