Body of Lies--5/10
This movie did not feel fresh nor original at all. There were several shots that looked as if they were recycled from Blackhawk Down, and the plot featured several familiar spy movie tropes. Some parts were entertaining, some parts were gruesome...all in all, I'd pass. I'm being generous with the score because there are a couple moments that display the acting chops of both Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. Unfortunately, that's about all the movie had going for it as far as I was concerned.
