Many points of view of the global oil business are provided which makes SYRIANA as realistic as they come. Politics enters in as well and so does George Clooney who plays a CIA agent who is being used by his superiors to control the forces working against our country's interests. Excuse the vagueness here because there are so many connections going on that the viewer finds the plot has rabbit holes. You think you're getting it and then as you move along you find that no one can keep all these competing forces under control, meaning to say the way the viewer can't understand everything and that is what each character experiences as well--cause and effect in their world is a precarious and fragile thing. This film tries to show how complex the web of connections is, for instance a missile, and that easy answers to hard problems not only won't be found but that they also just couldn't exist. [4.6 stars]
