I was surprised that nobody posted about this excellent movie "Body of Lies". Today was the opening day at Japan. I've been waiting for this one, and I really enjoyed it. Has anyone seen this?

In this year, I saw two Ridley Scott's movies. American Gangsters, and "Body of Lies". Both were great, but I prefer "Body of Lies". DiCaprio and Crowe, both actors showed their best acting. They are CIA agents. Dicaprio is in Mid-East, Crowe is in America, and Crowe give instructions by communication via satellite to Dicaprio, "Do this, do that... blar blar blar....". But, soon their missions go to wrong directions and they get into big problems because of their "lies".

Plot lines are well written by William Monahan. Thrilling, but sometimes humorous. His script is perfectly fitting to both of actors' personality. DiCaprio and Crowe's passage of words had witty and funny humor.

I'm Ridley Scott fan. I always enjoyed his movies. Any genres. As for the story of CIA, Tony Scott's "Spy Games" disappointed me. But "Body of Lies" is great one. I highly recommend this to all Ridley Scott fan.

Don't miss it! :thumbsup:

I just saw this Friday, Kenji - I really liked it too. Well scripted, very good acting (the Jordanian intelligence chief is really good, too), intense action scenes, looks like a more realistic view of intelligence work than the Bond films.
