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

    5.0 out of 5 stars everything else is pretty much straightforward
    Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I would say this plot offers up more suspense and intriguing details than any Tom Clancy movie I've ever seen. It wasn't until about an hour into the story that things finally started to make sense. But, from that point on, I was hanging onto every word and piecing together every detail.

    The trick to understanding this movie before it's over is to remember the names. Once you get to the point when you know who's who, everything else unfolds from there.

    So, what's going on?

    Matt Damon is a financial advisor to Prince Nassir. Prince Nassir's family just approved a deal for the chinese to come in and set up shop as oil drillers, as the chinese offered the highest bid.

    However, the US wants to cut the chinese out of the picture so that the newly merged connex and the smaller oil company can do their thing in place of the chinese.

    So, now we're at that scene when the old guy is talking to Prince Nassir's younger brother on the yacht. What you have to infer is that the "wish" that Nassir's younger brother wants the "cat's paw" to grant is to have his older brother, Prince Nassir, assassinated. In return for the favor, the US will get the oil contract instead of the chinese.

    That's when the CIA have George Clooney arrange for Prince Nassir to be assassinated. However, you know that doesn't work out. You might recall the torture scene. After Clooney narrowly escapes certain death, the torturer threatens to reveal the CIA's assassination attempt to the media.

    Next we see Clooney threatening the old man in the cafe. A trusted former co-worker had informed Clooney that the old man is setting him up to be the fall guy for any negative backlash resulting from the exposure of the failed assassination attempt.

    Once Clooney is able to get his passports back, he attempts to intercept Prince Nassir on the desert freeway and warn him of the danger to his life. In the freeway scene, Nassir has re-established relations with the Chinese; and with the help of 9 out of 11 of the country's generals, he is attempting to de-throne his conniving, ambitious younger brother.

    So, everything else is pretty much straightforward.

    5.0 out of 5 stars These Harry Limes Don't Fall Too Far From the Tree
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    Syriana is the most beautifully written, best-acted, political thriller following the tradition of The Third Man and my Xmas favorite, All The President's Men. It also reminded me in format of the BBC series of Traffik (better than the movie, which I liked too) and the style of The Conversation. These days, because of the unimaginable gaul and stupidity being practiced today by all sorts of leaders and followers, many of us oridinary earthlings wish we had had ourselves knocked senseless and kept in a coma until it gets better.
    This movie is very sobering to say the least. However, in a mere 2 hours, it illustrates the complexity of all the manure hitting the fan and where it sticks. We feel like Michael Corleone kissing Fredo. Through excellent writing, directing, international casting, and technical production from 2 years ago, it portends the humanitarian mess in the world today. The characters are so clearly yet economically written. Also, the music and photography engage and entertain our senses. The Harry Limes in this movie don't fall too far from the tree. There are no speeches about kookoo clocks, but there are thoughtful and passionate conversations and actions that explain motivations. You have to pay attention, but Syriana makes it easy.
    Mistakenly, I thought I had to be ready to watch this movie because of the strong topic. This movie is so beautiful and strong that I could have watched it almost anytime. It is a tonic. It succeeds at doing what all great pieces of art do - keeps you thinking and hoping and exercising every braincell to find answers for a better world. Because the writing is so clean and the subject so global, the beauty of it is that it can be dubbed or subtitled easily in any language. With the shortage of effective diplomacy, Syriana speaks for those of us who feel our voice is being muffled by self-absorbed players. Here is hoping saner minds see this movie and understand that good people can contribute and help other good people make existance on Earth humane and healthy. The first step is showing understanding and respecting intelligence. Syriana is such a step.
    My only complaint about the DVD is that there was no commentary accompanying the movie presentation.

    Definitely not a bad movie but you better have your reading glasses and are a fast reader. A lot of the movie is with subtitles and you have to pay close attention.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the true story of a heroic CIA agent who put his life on the line many times.

    Bob Barr now a CNN occasional commentator sadly had his cover blown in the early 2000s . He put his life on the line many times and was aware of collusion between international oil interests and the chief oil producing states . Through innocent minor characters the film also points out the influence fundamentalist Muslim mullahs have on immigrent oil workers in some oil states and how these clerics use their religious seminars and better housing & food to bend these workers to their radical form of religion . George Clooney as Barr is wonderful as are all in the cast. A must see movie
