Tanks. Bombs. Fizzles.
It's self-conscious. Pretentious. (can it be anything but with Leonardo?)
Most importantly, it fails to entertain. Regardless of your politics or stomach for bloody oil propaganda.
But don't listen me. I think tech manuals are an absorbing adventure. Listen to DHP. A continental, big screen taste tester worthy of your ten bucks:
"You would think a director as skilled as Ridley Scott could overcome what’s obviously a raging case of Bush Derangement Syndrome and put together a watchable and exciting film. But Body of Lies is a narrative mess with a herky-jerky plot that never gets started, flat performances, and action scenes without a hint of imagination. Every element that might make for a watchable film, some compelling characters, and a well paced story is subjugated to a left-wing telegram written to remind us America’s no better than al-Qaeda and that thanks to Bush (though his name is never mentioned) whatever happens from here on we pretty much got coming."
Hey. Do you wanna see a good DiCaprio film? Catch Me If You Can.
How about a good Crowe film? Cinderella Man.
