Ridley Scott's new movie "Body of Lies" was based on a book that I really enjoyed. The book was smart, terse, and very dry. All of the explosions were "off-screen," so to speak.
The movie version has an explosion about every 10 minutes. I doubt many will complain, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.
HOWEVER...one really cool aspect of the production was that Scott promoted 2nd unit DP Alexander Witt to head DP for the movie. It's always touching when top filmmakers promote within the ranks. American Cinematographer featured the movie in the October issue:
Body of Lies--AC October '08
