This is the wrong forum for this thread. I believe it should be in Movies and TV discussion FORUM as it has not yet been released on blu ray.

Feb 17 is a big week, saving my money for that week.

I thought it was alright; it's worth buying for me. What really surprised me was that the Jordanian dude was played by Mark Strong, who was also in RockNRolla.

Pretty good movie, i think it would look good on Blu-Ray!

dahoover · 01-30-2009, 06:35 AM

I saw the movie in the theatres and was a little let down. I was expecting a good story with some thrilling action scenes but all I got was a typical middle eastern political statement movie.

It had a couple good parts and Russell Crowe and DiCaprio were good but there was basically no action and there was only one suspenseful/thrilling scene.

Basically I would recommend a rent because I usually enjoy everything from Scott, Crowe, and DiCaprio but this was a disappointment.

DaPenguinPimP · 01-30-2009, 08:05 AM

Movie looked good, and Russel Crowe is always good, first day blind buy for me.

As well as Sunshine & Revolver. Dude's good.

Body of Lies was a pretty good movie although I'm not sure it's one I must own.

Moviefan1203 · 01-30-2009, 05:27 PM

Body of Lies was an excellent and vastly underrated film. I'll be adding it to my blu-ray library for sure.

Review is out. 4.5 stars PQ, 4 stars AQ. Great news for me because it's already a first-day purchase here.

I agree with your statement. I too was expecting more and I think the trailer for this film was very misleading. The first 30 minutes had some great action but that was it. I wasn't expecting Rambo but after that the next hour was rather slow and I understood the story very well and had great performances. I just had a problem with the pacing. I would say give this film a rent before you buy. I love Ridley Scott, DiCaprio and Crowe but was disappointed in this one.

ManUtd · 02-10-2009, 11:13 PM

Saw it in the theaters too. I'm on the fence on this one but will probably end up buying it eventually.

Very much so!

I'm glad to see this movie got a good review. No joke; I'm buying it on day one just for the inclusion of the new Guns N' Roses song at the end of the film.
