Review of Syriana (2005) by Thomas P — 30 Nov 2013

Complicated message movie, but thanks to wikipedia, it makes sense. Solid performances, consistently directed. As an entertainment movie, it's ok.

The message, tho already in the American conscience now, was clarified by this movie, but not new by any means.

Those giving it a high mark either are throwing props to a somewhat self-important movie to gush and seem cool, or they recognize the important subject matter.

But it's otherwise a tv movie slickly done...
