Highly recommended - Syriana review by CP Customer
This film re-inforced all of my prejudices about the CIA and the american oil business.
Great stuff! ...............but it needs total concentration to be aware of what is happening at any given moment.
I also suggest that having the sub-titles on is most helpful.

I liked it. Not a lot, but I liked it. - Syriana review by CP Customer
The first scene lets you believe theres gonna be some excitement in this film, but it takes on a more brooding aspect after that. Lovely to look at, the locations are beautiful and for some reason I didnt get bored. Plot is pretty tough to follow unless you have a knowledge of international politics and oil trading, which I do not. For some reason however it didnt bore me at all. A sunday afternoon rather than saturday night film.

Long and tedious... - Syriana review by CP Customer
A long and over-complicated plot which left us asking 'what happened' by the end, which thankfully eventually came.
Location filming was excellent but to be honest unless you like to have your brain severely strained I'd spend your hours elsewhere.
