Big oil means big money. Very big money. And that fact unleashes corruption that stretches from Houston to Washington to the Mideast and ensnares industrialists, princes, spies, politicos, oilfield laborers and terrorists in a deadly, deceptive web of move and countermove. This lightning-paced, whip-smart action thriller grips your mind and nerves with an intensity that doesn't let go for an instant. DVD Features:

Summary: bloody oil
Comment: So it ain't perfect and maybe it's kinda preachy, but it is a sincere attempt to look at a very serious problem and you get the impression they gave it their best shot. Trying to create an accurate depiction of the many realities and complexities of oil politics using the medium of film in which to do it is monumentous task, is it not? Basically SYRIANA's complicated plot is a take on the world's oil addiction the same way the film TRAFFIC deals with America's addiction to drugs. We see the situation multi-perspectively, all those involved shown and connections made between them. SYRIANA is successful I think in giving the sense it's a small, complicated, corrupt world filled with delusions, lies, and violence. Nobody is innocent, and for better or worse, we're all in it together.

Summary: Refreshing technique used in story telling
Comment: Syriana is a great movie about what goes on behind the scenes in the corporate/political world and it shows how everyone, politician, military, intelligence, royalty, blue collar worker, media...is connected somehow.
I watched this movie 4 times and the more I watched it, the more "clues" I gathered. This really isn't a movie where you can watch once and forget about it. This is NOT an action thriller.
The movie was made in a collarge way to show how the world is a complex web of simultaneous activity. Each "piece" is held together by a well-known actor: Clooney (CIA scenes), Damon (analysis & the "good" royalty), Cooper (corporate), Language (desperate workers) etc... Without them, it would be impossible to navigate through the movie.
Anyway, this movie is not for rental. Buy it, watch it 3 or 4 times and think about it.

Summary: awful, just awful
Comment: This is an overly long, preachy waste of time. Which is too bad as its based on a book that is slightly better. The choice to change the movie to better reflect the liberal politics was a poor one. I found this movie to be so awful that I was more than happy to spend the time writing the director to get my money back (I never received my money back, or a response). I try to keep an open mind but sitting through this movie was probably the worse hour and a half of my life.

Summary: scary but Stooped
Comment: first Iran actress to play american movie & got trouble because she dident ask her county to star in it. now she is not allowed to leave her counry. Story of this movie is about military oil. Mat damen looses his son in a dispute over oil. I herd of this movie & wanted to see it. but watching to the midle I almost dident I would watch the rest. u think Saving Private Ryan is scary well think again buster. some might be able to handel this movie but dont be dweller after u see this movie. this movie will put u on barbwire. when im ready to finish this movie I will.
