Thoughts on Syriana
Syriana is for the cynical, conspiracy theorists. So it seemed perfectly plausible to me. Actually, this isn't conspiracy theory along the lines of Area 51, green men from outer space that the government is hiding, Art Bell-type conspiracy theories. Syriana is about the ways corporate interests become entangled with our political interests.For a while, it seems like there are multiple movies running at the same time, but as the poster says, "everything is connected". Eventually, everything comes together. Personally, I thought more time could have been devoted to George Clooney's story as the renegade CIA agent. Nevertheless, the point is well made.

Good point. I think my main beef with the film is that it wasn't gripping enough, which is probably why I thought more time could have been devoted to Clooney's storyline.
