I wasted my time watching this poop. The ending was meaningless. The bad guys win. The directors kept jungling betweern views. I expected action at the least. The only interesting part was the finger nail pulling which was not fun to... Full review

Possibly the most regretful movie I've ever seen. The political aspects of it are good, but it was hard to keep up with. Also.... THE MOST *****ING BORING MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN. It was so incredibly dull I was falling asleep.... Full review

How this rates as #2 on Eberts best of 2005 I will never understand. Clooney gives a good performance but Matt Damon is truly dreadful. Storyline drags the whole movie in different directions, when it finally does get pulled together it... Full review

Matt Damon and George Clooney are great in this movie like usual. This is just not the greatest story. It is a very boring movie overall and it seems like it is a five hour movie even though it's only two... Full review

This movie does a an effective job in spinning multiple webs that are tied into America and it's dealings in the far east with Oil, and in some instances posing the U.S., and some of our government people as villians...Good performances... Full review

Syriana does lay out a fine spread with gut-wrenching moments of terror and violence but it couldn't seem to keeps its compelling feel to the film.... Full review
Too disjointed

I was excited to see this movie and predisposed to like it. However, it was far to disjointed to engage me (and I LIKE movies that make you think). Subtitles for some of the foreign langugae dialog were incomplete, characters came... Full review

Like Traffic , Syriana is a vital roadmap to a very important issue, using the power of cinema to convey it in a visceral (though often challenging) way.....Syriana never presumes to solve the problem....George Clooney won the 2006 Golden Globe Oscar Award for best actor in a supporting role for Syriana ..... ...

Woodman and Prince Nasir I found Syriana an interesting film....However, I can see how people of a certain political mind will either love or hate the film.....depending on which side of the political fence you fall on will affect your enjoyment of the film.....Syriana is complex but pays off in the end in a fascinating film about the oil industry in the Middle East.... ...
