Movie Trailer - 'Body of Lies' with DiCaprio and Crowe
You know who shouldn't be allowed to use a southern
accent?
Russell Crowe. He got an Oscar nomination for
A Beautiful Mind, which
was a bad accent, and it's on proud display again in the new trailer for
Body of
Lies.
This trailer, of course, is one of the three hitting
screens with
The Dark Knight this weekend, along with Watchmen and
Terminator
Salvation. We had the Terminator teaser for you yesterday, and Watchmen...well,
I guess they're holding on to that one for now.
I like a lot of the parts in Body of Lies, but I don't
much love the trailer. It's a
Ridley Scott movie, although this feels like a
trailer for a Tony Scott movie (and I even like Tony...just not as much as his
brother). The script is from Departed writer
William Monahan.
Leonardo DiCaprio
is great, as we know, and Crowe can be one of the most effective actors of his
generation. His character here is an odd mix of Jeffrey Wigand from The Insider
and John Nash from A Beautiful Mind, and honestly, I have a little trouble
watching it. Maybe I'm the only one.
Judge it for yourself.

Leo's character in this movie looks just like his character from Departed, just not Irish...
He looks all grow'd up too...
i think russel crow is going to be great in this movie and people don't give him enough credit but he is one of the best actor of his generation
People may not like that Russell has gained weight and aged but it does not take away from the fact that he is a great actor. Leonardo is also and the combination of the two should result in a good movie.
