Mikään ei taida yllättää niin kuin Leonardo DiCaprio. Kyseinen herra on onnistunut yllättämään useammin, kuin kerran. On sääli, että mies muistetaan ensimmäisenä uppoavasta laivasta, koska Titanic kuuluu ehdottomasti surkeimpiin elokuviin, missä DiCaprio on ollut mukana.

Body Of Lies on tiivistunnelmainen agenttitarina, joka ei kuitenkaan ole yhtä kertakäyttöisen oloista mössöä, kuin esimerkiksi Bournet. Tiedä sitten, mistä tuo vertaus tuli, mutta kyseisen sarjan elokuvat ovat todella sitä : viihdyttävää, mutta purukumilta maistuvaa perusactionia, jossa nyt vähän ratkotaan mysteereitä samalla, kun juostaan pakoon (tai kohteen perässä).

Body Of Lies rakentelee valheiden verkkoa ajan kanssa ja harkiten. Toimii.

The film was released in the shadow of similar films such as The Kingdom, Stop-Loss and In the Valley of Elah. Ridley's movie is an intricate little beast composed for a very specific type of movie-goer - the thinking movie-goer. With the release date just subsequent to the 2008 summer season (highlights included The Dark Knight, Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) the film practically tiptoed into cinemas with the stealth of the CIA operatives at the centre of this crackling thriller. Body of Lies is a visceral, gritty, gripping adaptation of the 2007 novel ...Read more
