Syriana is the political thriller, whose thriller is replaced by character study. From the minds that produced Traffic comes an equally disjointed, multifaceted story about the U.S. government’s involvement in the Middle East, specifically in the oil business. As I am tied to neither political party, I saw this less as a condemnation of government and more as a critique of humanity. As Jesus asked in Mark 8:36, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?”

"Corruption is why we win." To most Americans, those are harsh words. To the conspiracy theorists, those words are canonized. To Syrianna, those are the words that drives every action by every character.

Directed by Stephan Gaghan ("Traffic"), Syrianna is a political thriller, one that will have oil companies crying foul and liberals pointing their fingers at corrupt corporations. As for myself, a moderate in terms of politics, it gave me a scary picture of the world, a world that is ruled by corrupt people, interested in themselves and their profits, and not for the good of mankind.
