Previewing: Body of lies (2008)

Based yet once again, on promoting the culture of fear in the American public for their precious freedom and how fragile it is. And how there are literally millions bent on destroying it and taking it away from them, because they're Crusaders and Jews. Of course with the rest of the crap about the 70 virgins and how everyone is expendable on the Arab side, while being manipulated by the Sheiks and the Wahhabi money .. yada yada yada

What the movie fails to portray is the modern Arab world and how even ordinary citizens are fed up with violence and war. It fails to attack the original cause for Iraqi insurgency and all it entails from roadside bombs to chopping off heads. Repeat after me kids, OCCUPATION is illegal! Middling with the internal affairs of sovereign nations is a violation of the UN accords and holding people in places like Guantanamo bay is against the Geneva conventions. Need anyone say more!?

In an interesting twist of events, the Arab guy who is completely innocent and has done nothing but pray to his god five times a day. Ended up murdered because the CIA thought he's expendable and it's OK to use him as a Pawn, HOWEVER, when A REAL CIA agent who has killed numerous people, destroyed several homes, was caught. It was NOT OK for him to get killed or tortured!

This is EXACTLY the problem, when you THINK you're superior and your blood is worth more than anyone else, as you see, blood is worth way more than this false freedom people at Langley trying so dearly to protect.

Although, I just think it's the mistake of the movie and not really the CIA, it would be a disaster if the folks at the CIA thought the same way!

And just for the sake of credibility, would you freakin just LOOK at how Jordan looks like, even in pictures!!? For god's sake, it can't be that expensive to shoot in Jordan and depict an accurate image of the society that, for the record, barely has ANY Iranians. If it was an Iraqi nurse, then MAYBE but Iranian in Jordan? Come on!

And INSA means FORGET IT, not "It's terrible!" Ever heard of Yamli? Or perhaps Google Translate!? Or maybe just pick up the phone and call someone in the ARAB WORLD to tell you how silly you are!

If you've seen Traitor, then you've seen this movie, I suggest you save your money and watch the much superior dramatic treatment of the situation done in Traitor!

2/10 on the Qwaider scale, you'd better pass. Opens everywhere Oct 10th.
