movie review: body of lies

i watched body of lies last night, starring leo dicaprio and russell crowe. instead of telling you what i think, i'm going to insinuate it with a series of questions. let's have at it.

- why was this movie so long?
- why was the ending so anticlimactic? he bought vegetables. that's not even good enough to warrant a *spoiler alert*
- is this why i fell asleep?
- wouldn't russell crowe's character be better played by richard dreyfuss?
- do you really need that many vaccination shots for rabies? if so, why haven't i been vaccinated 18 bajillion times?
- are we supposed to believe that leonardo dicaprio can easily pass as middle eastern with a simple change of hair color and facial hair? this reminded me of team america.
- why do i want to watch this again? i feel like i missed things. there was a lot going on.

I would add: Could they have thought up a more generic title?

that too! i couldn't figure out why it was the title.

leo should stop doing movies that are not directed by scorcese.
