Default Movie Review: Syriana

Here's my review: What the....?? We got this mailed to us recently, so my wife and I sat down to watch and hopefully enjoy it. By the end of the movie, my wife and I were both scratching our heads in confusion. A lot of the general thoughts and themes in the movie were clear enough...but generally speaking, this was not a very good movie. If I had it to do over again, I wouldnt.

Yep the ending really blew it for me. If you want a much better 3rd World thriller type of movie see "The Constant Gardner".

My wife and I thought the same thing when we watched it. Not very good.

I liked most of it.. and then had the MMMM factor hit - it turned left and I went straight.. end result was I wish I could have unwatched that and get my two hours back.

I thought it was a very good movie. The sick, sad, intertwinement or religion, politics and business.
