Body of Lies
A Middle East spy thriller tense without suspense. That is, until the end. A film highly attuned to current events in the region, its personalities, poignant dialog and compelling mean streets and grand desert vistas dominate an only moderately interesting plot. Urgency, sometimes mortal, being the driving force over all the interactions, the constant interactions between individuals who trust not a word the other is saying generate electricity that draws you in by short and long arcs. With deftly chosen scripting of the words of each key character, you can be riveted. view source
