Some parts of "Body of Lies" are a bit roundabout and dark, but when the plot focuses on the themes of betrayal and conspiracy, the film is exciting and fascinating.
When the film’s inconsistent storyline finally came to light, the unconvincing and stale ending was unable to capture the audience’s attention as always.
Although "Body of Lies" was written by a reporter and set the background of the story in the most sensitive area on the planet, it also involved the themes of the war on terrorism and political friction. But in fact, the political sensitivity of the film is not high. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the film has an extremely exaggerated appearance, the inside is still an ordinary anti-terrorism original story. And there is a congenital disease of this kind of political themes, which is the lack of entertainment. In order to make up for such shortcomings and better integrate the story itself into the political background, a large number of actions and suspenseful elements are on the scene.
The director used his usual style in the film, which is concise, cold, and full of style. Naturally, it is accompanied by a large number of strong-paced electronic style soundtracks, dazzling explosion scenes, and a large number of cinematic processing of military operations, early announcing the positioning of male hormones to the audience. The film’s character set is quite interesting. Crowe is like an "old fried dough stick" in the film. He has already seen through the conspiracy traps in the political arena and the smog in the officialdom. Such people are actually not uncommon and not terrible. But once this kind of person starts to agree with the rules of the game, and thinks that dealing with in the game is a kind of fun, then he becomes an extremely dangerous person. Leonardo is also a newcomer in the film, and he still retains the most naive sense of justice and self-worth in him. In such a battle full of lies and deceit and multilateral wrestling, these two characters are indispensable, but they are also not innocent people. It is their participation that makes the situation more and more complicated. swirl.
