Syriana

Piece of garbage

This movie is film school amateur hour. The George Clooney character was based on a real life CIA agent who was assigned to assassinate Saddam Hussein, but in the movie, the leader he is after is a progressive, likable leader who is a victim of the "evil" CIA and America. When about to be executed by terrorists in Lebanon, Clooney's character is actually rescued and set free by Hezbollah guerrilas. The filmmakers knowledge seems to be that of a college freshman whose only knowledge of geopolitics has come from taking Political Science 101 taught by Michael Moore.

I agree. This movie was a total disapointment.
