But it's a bloated and procrastinating drama

I went to see this movie for the director of American Gangster and Black Hawk Landing and the name of DiCaprio written on the poster. I didn't expect this movie to be bloated and procrastinated, and it was extremely disappointing.
There were some shooting scenes at the beginning, but there was really nothing remarkable except that the little handsome guy's finger was broken.
This film was obviously made by the United States for people in the Middle East. In addition to the scenery in Middle Eastern countries, some of its lines mocked Muslims mercilessly.
In addition, I saw this film in a cinema in Oman, with Arabic letters and English soundtracks. I was looking forward to an action movie, and so many complicated dialogues swept my interest, and secondly, I couldn't understand it well.

Body of Lies 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.
