      body of lies

      I've always had Chandler's Traitor in my head, and Man of Lies, it's hard to beat him.
      If it wasn't for Ridley Scott and the two leading actors, I really wouldn't want to watch this movie. Anti-terrorism-themed movies have long been out of ideas, and there is no motivation to watch the movie at all. If you continue to make such movies, it is better to be a spoof and spoof like You Don't Mess with the Zohan (Don't mess with Zohan). Nonsensical and yellow jokes are flying all over the sky......

      Highlights and flaws coexist

      In terms of roles, DiCaprio and Russell Crowe all have their own rules, and the role is very real; Mark Strong's aristocratic image and temperament are more luscious, and can be regarded as a bright spot alongside other American high-tech in the play; Of course, the little nurse's smile is still quite charming as the girl next door; the

      scene can also be said to be full of elements: real life scenes in the Arab world, explosions, gun battles, SUVs galloping through the sand and rocks...

      He is no longer the Titanic, and he is not the Gladiator at all!

      Leonardo DiCaprio has already made people forget that he once played the Titanic. In this film, he is a young man with ideals, ambition, wisdom and courage. After the last action, he quit intrigue and ruthlessness. Ruthless work circle! Now that he has started talking about characters and then talking about Russell Crowe, he can't see that he was once the unparalleled hero in "Gladiator", just like a ruthless and mercenary boss who controls and manipulates others. Is this kind of person rising...

      The idea and details of the title are the essence of this movie

      At the end of the film, the protagonist's boss, Hoffman, informed the military to remove the monitoring of Phyllis. Seeing this, I knew that the title of the film, The Body of Lies, had already been described. I like this film very much, and I admire the director who runs through the whole film with such a title and idea. Even with any of the main lines of intelligence/counter-terrorism/espionage, the plot of this film can be interpreted well and even novel. But the director or screenwriter is...

      very nice.

      Leonardo's acting skills are still so realistic and in place, the whole plot is still compact, many people say this show is boring, because they are watching action movies, obviously this show is not, the protagonist is just investigating in the plot The intelligence person used to be just a reporter. How can I get information by calling and calling? One person to single out a terrorist organization? The key is to not know where the boss of others is. I wanted to give it full marks, but the...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The Manchester street scene in the film is actually shot on the streets of the United States, but the details are very good. The police use blue and white British bands instead of black and yellow American bands.
    The key explosion scenes in the film all use real pyrotechnic explosions, and refuse to use digital synthesis.
    In order to make the explosion scene feel real without damaging the surrounding buildings, the stunt staff tried to...

    Evaluation action

    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. (Review of "USA Today")
    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. ("Los Angeles Times" review)
    Although "Body of Lies" was written by a reporter and set the...

    Movie quotes

    • Ed Hoffman: It is a fallacy that prolonged war will weaken an occupied enemy. It most likely will make your enemy stronger.

    • Ed Hoffman: See, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has caughten on to the factually unsophisticated truth - we're an easy target. We are an *easy* target. And our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than you might think. We take our foot off the throat of this enemy for one minute, and our world changes completely.

    • Roger Ferris: We are your friends. We're here to watch you, we are here to protect *you*.

      Nizar: [exasperated] You can't even protect yourselves.
