Syriana review

From writer-director Stephen Gaghan, the Oscar®-winning writer of Traffic, comes Syriana, a political thriller that unfolds against the intrigues and corruption of the global oil industry. From the players brokering backroom deals in Washington to the men toiling in the oil fields of the Persian Gulf, the film's multiple storylines weave together to illuminate the human consequences of the fierce pursuit of wealth and power. Sheiks and field workers, government inspectors and international spies, rich and poor, the famous and infamous--each plays their small part in the vast and complex system that powers the industry, none realizing the true extent of the explosive impact their lives will have upon the world.

George Clooney and Matt Damon head an all-star cast that also includes Jeffrey Wright, Chris Cooper, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Amanda Peet, Christopher Plummer, and Alexander Siddig

Currently its on limited release and will open nationwide on Friday, December 9th
