Body of Lies

ActionDramaThriller

Directed by Ridley Scott

The CIA’s hunt is on for the mastermind of a wave of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agency’s man on the ground, moving from place to place, scrambling to stay ahead of ever-shifting events. An eye in the sky – a satellite link – watches Ferris. At the other end of that real-time link is the CIA’s Ed Hoffman, strategizing events from thousands of miles away. And as Ferris nears the target, he discovers trust… From TMDB

    Pitching the idea of remaking Body of Lies in the style of too-precious-by-half film adaptations of similarly twee YA books. The film will reach its emotional peak in a montage scene set to "The Secret Life of Arabia." This version will at least refrain from pretending Baltimore is the West Midlands

    “What’s the name of that new Ridley Scott movie?” “A Good Year?” “No not that one. The one with that hot young actor in it” “Body of Lies?” “No, the one with Margaret Qualley and Josh Brolin” “The Dog Stars?” “That’s the one”

    The Good Shepherd (spies are not immune to neuroses!) Sicario (the second movie about why doing a Sicario is bad) The Bourne Identity (dudes in a room with maps and yelling) Body of Lies (don’t trust management) Mission: Impossible (CI is galaxy brain nonsense at the end of the day)

    ’Body Of Lies’ (2008), UMD, £2. I’d forgotten this is a #ridleyscott movie. Letterboxd says I’ve seen it before, but I don’t remember anything. Maybe it’s another one for the middling Ridley Scott pile - which is a bigger pile than you might think. #physicalmedia #sonypsp #umd #bodyoflies #dicaprio

    There are many horrendous things about mark strongs portrayal of Hani Salam in “Body of Lies” but he is also one of my favorite movie characters of all time and I think about this discrepancy

    A quote from the film Body of Lies that may prove relevant: "Our enemy realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it's the past, and you behave like it's the past, then guys from the future find it very hard to see you."

    There's a 2024 movie called Bag of Lies but there's a 2008 movie called Body of Lies so it seems that it's just the old movie come back , but having lost its bodily self-esteem

    If you are interested in military deception, read Body of Lies by David Ignatius, considered as "happily original" for its genre by The Christian Science Monitor. The movie is also quite good.

    Forgot how bland BODY OF LIES was. Crowe is in good form (kind of foreshadowing his current day mode) but the movie is just so bizarrely flat considering the talent involved.

    Ridley Scott is forgiven for his flops because his wins go so fucking hard. I could not care if every second movie is terrible, when the man has also brought me Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, Body of Lies, The Martian and (reportedly) Gladiator II

    Although not a commentary on the conflict itself, The Hurt Locker is about how someone can become desensitized to be addicted to war which is a more generalized criticism of war. Green Zone is a film that explicitly critiques the Iraq War so I’d say give that a chance. I also heard Body of Lies has

  • GenerationofSwine @GenerationofSwineTMDB reviews · Jan 14, 2023

    Crowe got second billing and they gave the limelight to DiCaprio instead...that's a great idea. that means that, as usual, DiCaprio is going to shine doing his "this is how you become a different person" thing and Crowe is going to actually act and not just try to hog the limelight. The result is a tense and very well acted film. It should have been a Masterpiece but...it was released in 2008 and America wanted pure escapism then, not tense spy thrillers that reflect the reality of two long…
