Review of Syriana (2005) by Mike S — 05 Jun 2015
The writer of Traffic has directed and wrote Syriana that is a great movie but not as a masterpiece as Traffic. The acting from George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Jeffrey Wright is fantastic and they definitely make the stories their own.
Stephen Gaghan does the same multiple stories thing like Traffic and he still makes them different which is nice, however, some of the stories are a bit forgettable and people are going to agree that they are confusing at first viewing.
The writing is really good, and the film is smart. It's mostly interesting, and it does leave you wondering about what's going to happen next. Syriana is a nice film that shows that Stephen Gaghan can also work as a director.
