Body of Lies



  • Directed by Ridley Scott
  • Starring Leonardo DiCarprio, Russell Crowe
  • Excellent performance from DiCarprio, and Crowe delivers his usual stuff. Script is strong, cinematography wonderful. However, in the end the film lacks a clear direction in which to steer itself, and this shows in the disappointing climax (or lack thereof). This is a movie where the individual parts are stronger than the whole package. -Comment written by Dear
