A compelling, nail-biting spy thriller.

Just because it's really dense and layered doesn't mean it's good.

A complicated movie about the war on terror with two terrific performances and a terrific director.

Perhaps Scott's ever-restless shooting style doesn't quite differentiate between the peaks and troughs of the narrative, yet it's still an engrossing account of the intersection between process and ethics.

DiCaprio's solid, though I wonder if a real CIA agent could get away with looking so earnest every second. Crowe has the right idea, in addition to all the fun: Just throw it away, throw it away and pretty soon you build yourself a clever characterization

Body of Lies is an extremely well paced, tightly wound, and intensely violent thriller. There is no damnation or congratulations here. As Russell Crowe muses as the end: "No one is innocent"

...[Ridley] Scott's most entertaining and involving effort since 2001's Black Hawk Down.

Russell Crowe has finally realised he's just an ordinary fat guy now, and taken a role he can accurately portray.

It has none of the sweep of, say, Syriana, as if that mattered to the audience it's gunning for.

It doesn't help that those action scenes all blend together, relying overmuch on speeding convoys of big black SUVs and surveillance planes that can see you picking your nose from miles up.
November 10, 2008
Good solid far-fetched multiplex action-adventure fare in the Bondian mode, with awe-inspiring technology and just enough moral philosophizing laced through it to give the mind a little something to chew on.
October 18, 2008
Yes, there are a couple of chase scenes, but Scott rarely shifts into high gear.
