Plot:
A movie’s writers are often the underappreciated heroes of a flick, because they create the story. Body of Lies displays such a well-crafted plot that I found myself hooked from the start. I would state the plot carries the movie, but the other features are strong enough on their own.

Execution:
A quality plot means little if the actors, director, and production team fail to deliver. But they are strong in this film. We were compelled to give Body of Lies high scores for production and direction. Something about the acting in the film appeared interestingly different, especially from Leonardo DiCaprio, but we did not know what.

Entertainment:
Whew, what an adventure! I have sat through many dull movies in my time, but this isn’t one of them. You won’t walk away from Body of Lies disappointed.
