DVD Reviews of Body of Lies (Widescreen Edition)
DVD Review: predictable because we've seen this kind of stuff plenty of times
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked Body of Lies, but honestly, all of us have probably seen similar movies that show Hollywood's take on the culture and the people of the Middle East with of course, the focus being on the frequent bombings, shootings, and dangerous settings that the terrorists are responsible for.
The only thing that separates Body of Lies from the rest is that Leonardo DiCaprio has proven to be a top-notch actor capable of portraying *anything*. He's seriously improved a LOT in my eyes over the years. 10 years ago I didn't particularly care for him as an actor- I've since changed my mind.
Anyway, he plays a CIA agent in this movie, while Russell Crowe's role has been *greatly* exaggerated in my opinion. His performance didn't impress me very much, like all the commercial previews led me to believe. This is definitely a Leonardo DiCaprio movie because he shines in the spotlight *much* more than anyone else.
Body of Lies is one of those movies that we've all seen before. You know what's going to happen when we're talking about American CIA agents and having them visit the Middle East- the CIA agent basically portrays the superhero that can withstand anything, you are treated to the many scenes showing the constant turmoil taking place is said areas (along with the rundown environments) and so on and so forth.
At least the story-telling in this film expanded from Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Syria (and sometimes America and the Netherlands).
Not a bad film, but we've seen it all before.
DVD Review: Great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a really great movie. It never caught my attention before. It has a lots of action and shooting if you are into that stuff. I don't want to spoil it for you but I thought the movie was great and not a waste of time.DVD Review: Nice movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good movie, it takes a while to get to the action, but when it gets started I think you will feel it was worth the wait. Mr. dicaprio was kind hard to take him as a real CIA officer, russell crowe, played the part of a un-trusthworthy, crummy CIA boss he really sucked, it's might be true, that how they are in real life, it's local is the middle east. That country is a real piece of dirt, it's too bad we have loss so many good American troops there. DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Movie.The lead characters do a great job of playing off the American insolence with the Arab intransigence. I thought the acting was superb. The locales were right on. I continue to be amazed by both Crowe and DiCaprio. They get it. Reading the one stars, they don't. Overall, a great action and non-biased view of the way things work.DVD Review: Definitely Terrific Film
Summary: 5 Stars
A good one, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. About spies, the Middle East and terrorism. Excellent performances by everyone in the film; great direction too. And finally a script that doesn't let up.
Description of Body of Lies (Widescreen Edition)
The CIAs hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agencys man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky a satellite link watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIAs Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust can be just as dangerous as it is necessary for survival. Leonardo DiCaprio (as Ferris) and Russell Crowe (as Hoffman) star in Body of Lies, adapted by William Monahan (The Departed) from the David Ignatius novel. Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Black Hawk Down) directs this impactful tale, orchestrating exciting action sequences and plunging viewers into a bold spy thriller for our time.General DVDs
