“Just saw Body of Lies,” an industry friend wrote last night. “I thought it was a really terrific, smart studio movie for grownups. Very astutely directed with a strong central performance from Leonardo DiCaprio (albeit with unfortunate facial hair – though perhaps needed because he still has serious babyface). Russell Crowe is serviceable as the fatty neo-con who isn’t actually the main villain, which is what I was expecting. Very much the sum of its parts – great script, great director, great cast. Bullseye.”
