Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Big oil means big money. Very big money. And that fact unleashes corruption that stretches from Houston to Washington to the Mideast and ensnares industrialists, princes, spies, politicos, oilfield laborers and terrorists in a deadly, deceptive web of move and countermove. This lightning-paced, whip-smart action thriller grips your mind and nerves with an intensity that doesn't let go for an instant.
Review:
"I think Syriana is a great film....The movie explains the politics of oil by telling us to stop seeking an explanation. Just look at the behavior. In the short run, you can see who wants oil and how they're trying to get it. In the long run, we're out of oil." Roger Ebert
Review:
"A complex, intriguing narrative about oil, terrorism, money and power." A. O. Scott, New York Times
Review:
"Syriana has a lot of big, important things to say about big, important things, and it says them with a sense of urgency." Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
Review:
"What's so powerful about the film is the rich stories it tells and how it leads them like so many human tributaries to one black, bubbling source." Washington Post
Review:
"No dry civics lesson, this fighting-mad film isn't just hot, it's incendiary. And no one gets off the hook. You see it with the exhilarating feeling that a movie can make a difference." Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Review:
"A fearless and ambitious piece of work, made with equal parts passion and calculation, an unapologetically entertaining major studio release with compelling real-world relevance, a film that takes numerous risks and thrives on them all." Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
