The latest project of Ridley Scott, Body of Lies, is the story of a CIA agent Scott Ferris (Leonardo Di Caprio) and his handler in Virginia (Russell Crowe) attempting to find and take down a known terrorist in the Middle East. While this idea has been done in several different manners in the past few years (Don Cheadle's Traitor, and George Clooney's Syriana just to name a few), this movie does not suffer from a feeling of deja vu. Both Di Caprio and Crowe are excellent in this thriller CIA tale. Crowe is looking rough, gaining 60 pounds for the role of the corpulent CIA agent.
While the film is not extremely long by today's standards (clocking in around 2 hours and 8 minutes), it did seem to drag on a bit. Other than that, the film is enjoyable and intense. I recommend a viewing.
My rating: B
