This lightning-paced, whip-smart action thriller grips your mind and nerves with an intensity that doesn't let go for an insta

    Syriana is an oil-based soap opera set against the world of global oil cartels. It is to the oil industry as Traffic was to the drug trade (no surprise, since writer/director Stephen Gaghan wrote the screenplay to Traffic): a sprawling attempt to portray the vast political, business, social, and personal implications of a societal addiction, in this case, oil. A major merger between two of the world's largest oil companies reveals ethical dilemmas for the lawyer charged with making the deal (Jeffrey Wright), and major global implications beyond the obvious; a CIA operative (George Clooney) discovers the truth about his work, and the people he works for; a young oil broker (Matt Damon) encounters personal tragedy, then partners with an idealistic Gulf prince (Alexander Siddig) attempting to build a new economy for his people, only to find he's opposed by powers far beyond his control. Meanwhile, disenfranchised Pakistani youths are lured into terrorism by a radical Islamic cleric. And that's just the start. As in Traffic, in one way or another all of the characters' fates are tied to each other, whether they realize it or not, though the connections are sometimes tenuous. While Syriana is basically a good film with timely resonance, it can't quite seem to measure up to Gaghan's ambitious vision and it very nearly collapses under the weight of its many storylines. Fortunately they are resolved skillfully enough to keep the film from going under in the end. To some viewers, Syriana will seem like an unfocused and over-loaded film that goes, all at once, everywhere and nowhere. Others will find it to be an important work earnestly exploring major issues. In either case, it's a film that deserves to be taken seriously, and it's likely to be one that will be talked about for a long time to come. --Dan Vancini

    5 out of 5 stars Syriana (Full Screen Edition)   March 10, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    The CIA agent Bob Barnes with great experience in Middle East that falls in disgrace after an unsuccessful mission dealing missiles in Lebanese Republic; the investigation of the attorney Bennett Holiday related to the merge of two American oil companies, Connex and Killen the traumatic association of the energy analyst Bryan Woodman with the son of a powerful emir of Emirate, and the social drama of the Pakistani immigrant worker Wasim Khan that is fired by the oil company. This movie does an excellent job of illustrating just how politics and big business conspire to preserve the status quo which also protects their power and profits. This movie is a must see. A well researched story with excellent actors for the numerous roles.


    5 out of 5 stars Syriana - What a great movie!   December 16, 2009
    R. E. LEACH (Bury, Lancashire, United Kingdom)
    This movie deals with one of the most pertinent issues in today's geo-political world, and it is admirable that it has been brought to DVD format.
    The content of the movie and the special feature interviews shed important light on some of the 'shady' dealings that go on in the industrial world.

    I work in the Petro-Chemical Industry, and it is an eye-opener to see what is UNDOUBTABLY going on inside many Companies' boardrooms, and how decisions made there affect workers lives, and societies' perceptions.

    A heartily RECOMMENDED movie.

    RS Steube is accurate - and the movie was not for me. It wasn't "bad", but it wasn't "good" either. And more resembled a TV mini-series lumped together for a few hour movie. Barely 2 stars.


    3 out of 5 stars Cold War Attitudes in Remarkably Incoherent Film   November 7, 2009
    drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA)
    0 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I have to admit this was far too artsy a production for me. None of the characters were sufficiently defined to care about, none of the action sufficiently comprehensible to break through the torpor induced by the cross-cutting of scenes and characters. The cynicism which was the hallmark of fine cold war films, was marked, but I was led to indifference since it was all puppetry devoid of human characteristics. I shouldn't think any blame accrues to the actors whose playing seemed to be in tune with the desires of writers and the director; George Clooney, in particular, is to be congratulated for his heroic underplaying which dimmed his impact to near zero.
    Over-all, it was quite an achievement to convert a hot issue into a bedtime story.
