Reviews
[Syriana] fulfils all the key criteria of a decent political thriller - it'll make you angry, it'll make you think and it'll scare the hell out of you.
Gaghan's script wisely sticks to the human story as things twist and turn.
Probes a significant subject but treats its people as mere stick figures carrying exposition from place to place.
Preferring probing questions to pat solutions, the film drills deep in its exploration of the US's ventures, both economic and military, in the Middle East.
Gaghan kapitulira pred holivudskim konvencijama te film zaklju%u010Duje spektakularnom, ali banalnom i krajnje neuvjerljivom zavr%u0161nicom
Politically-paranoid, if well-intentioned, this disjointed message movie doesn't really do much more than indict the usual suspects.
Interesting and worth watching, despite the fact that complete comprehension of the film seems just beyond the reach of the viewer.
[K]eeps you on a teeter-totter of emotion... it leaves you with a sense of falling that is entirely unsettling.
