Movie Reviews Use the review system to add a movie review of a movie recently seen. *Important* to remember for ratings 5 is good and 1 is bad. A 5 for Sex or Violence means there was very little of either not a lot of it. Leave the ratings as n/a if you simply wish to comment on another's review or change them to the appropriate rating to add your own review when commenting on a submitted review.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God.

Body of Lies

This movie features Leonardo DiCaprio as a "political advisor" for the CIA under Russel Crowe's finger. DiCaprio is in various Middle Eastern scenes tracking the sinister Bin-Ladenish Islamic fundamentalist character Al-Sellem (sp?)...I find the story quite gripping but some parts are a bit unrealistic as DiCaprio is supposedly in deep cover speaking fluent Arabic but switching back to a loud southern twang in other conversations that would make him stick out and say "american" in neon to all people involved. Part Jason Bourne, Part James Bond I give this film a 4 as the cat and mouse scheme of using profiling techniques to set a trap for the terrorist leader is quite intriguing. There is a lot of violence and not just a few swear words....directed by Ridley Scott of Alien and Gladiator fame who doesn't seem to make many bad movies. This will hold your interest. For a similar and slightly better movie, I recommend Traitor starring Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce.

If you gave the movie a 4 then why didn't you give it a 4?
