The Kingdom or Body of Lies


Both movies were very similar, and have pretty much the same IMDB rating?
Which do you like more? I think I would pick the Kingdom.

body of lies amyday, whilst i didnt mind the gun fights the first half of the movie seemed to drag, and i also felt it a bit rude how they tried to show that the arab forces were just so incompetent. I actually like Body of Lies as its the complete opposite, and shows that despite all the technology the US has, the arab people know what they are doing and are in a better position to understand how everything fits together and should be handled

Both are good movies, but I would have to say The Kingdom was easily more thrilling.

I fell asleep watching Body of Lies, I didn't watching The Kingdom. Hmm...

I like both quite a bit. But Body of Lies is my favorite of the two.

"couldn't care less" = "don't care at all".
"could care less" = "care at least a little".

Body of Lies has better pace and Leonardo Di Caprio so I'd have to go with Body of Lies. But both movies are pretty good in my opinion.

yippie kay yay!

The Kingdom hands down. I have watched Body of lies first, and did not watch Kingdom until 5 minutes ago. And Wow, Kingdom just blew me away. Although have a slow start, but eventually the pace build up and the action was excellent. And the drama was good too. Not too boring, just great storyline. And it is unbelievable they pulled it off putting in non action star like jason bateman and it still works. Excellent show!

I own both on Blu-ray and bought The Kingdom a few days ago as it was going for very cheap but I'd never seen it before.

It blows Body Of Lies out of the water, amazing action thriller!

The acting is excellent and some of the scenes choked me up a bit, some of the shoot outs were as good as in Michael Mann's Heat.

I'd say it's one of the best action movies of the last 10 years.
