A Solid, if unspectacular effort from Ridders. Body of Lies charts the efforts of a CIA operative working in the Middle East (Leo), working with his Langley based handler to bring down a top ranking Terrorist. They form an alliance with an excellent Mark Strong, head of Jordan's Intelligene community.It always interesting, never dull and of course looks great. But there are no great shocks or surprises here. Leo is a great, beleivable leading man...exactly as he was in every-other-movie-he's-been-in-in-the-last-ten-years lind of way. Crowe adds another fine character piece to his CV. But the plot never sparks and the set pieces feel minor.
Grade C Ridders.
