American oil companies Connex and smaller Killen are undergoing a merger, the new company named Connex-Killen. The move is in response to Connex losing a number of oil fields in the Persian Gulf region as Prince Nasir Al-Subaai, his country's foreign minister, and the oldest son of the Emir and thus the heir apparent to the throne, signed a contract with the Chinese instead. As Killen somehow managed to get the contract for the oil fields in Kazahkstan, the merger would give Connex-Killen additional control of the industry in the Middle East. Connex's retained law firm, headed by Dean Whiting, assigns Bennett Holiday to demonstrate to the US Department of Justice that due diligence has been done to allow the merger to proceed i.e. that the merger would not break any antitrust regulations. The US government is unhappy with Prince Nasir's decision to award the contract to the Chinese, and in combination with issues around illegal weapons, the CIA assigns field agent Bob Barnes, who has experience in the Middle East, to assassinate the Prince, whose eventual leadership would further undermine US oil security. Barnes becomes a pawn in the goings-on between the players. Meanwhile, Geneva based Bryan Woodman, an energy analyst, eventually becomes associated with the Emir and his family, largely due to a tragic incident. In the process, Woodman learns of Prince Nasir's western leanings and his want to change radically his country into a western democracy with a diversified economy. If the Emir found out, it could threaten Prince Nasir ascension to the throne and thus derail the democratization process. Through all these manoeuvrings, migrant workers are affected, some who cannot retain work with the changing of companies controlling the oil. Some of those may try to take matters into their own hands for their form of justice.
Leave your thoughts about Syriana.
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussGaghan asks us to piece together the story from the evidence onscreen, making the film almost an exercise in participatory investigative journalism. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreSyriana is complex, engrossing, involving and depressing. Difficult to absorb, it is also difficult to accept, and it is one of the best films of 2005. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonIts narrative becomes clear enough in time, and along the way it gives the viewer the delightfully unfamiliar feeling (in prefab Hollywood) of being completely off balance. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...not always easy to follow. Luckily, the execution is good enough to hold attention even when confusing. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomIt is a mesmerizing global economic and civics thriller that will - or should - start you thinking everytime you turn the ignition in your car. |
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerSyriana is a challenging, thought-provoking work about the downward spiral of oil dependence throughout the world. It's just the thing to make you consider a hybrid for your garage or solar panels for your roof. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSyriana is an endlessly fascinating movie about oil and money, America and China, traders and spies, the Gulf States and Texas, reform and revenge, bribery and betrayal. |
| www.susangranger.comSusan GrangerA powerful political thriller, striking a resonating chord with the oil-connected news that unfolds every day. |
| Ebert & RoeperRichard RoeperThis is a cynical but undoubtedly accurate portrayal of the inner workings of international politics, where white-shoe lawyers and oil executives can be nearly as ruthless as the CIA hit men and missile-toting rebels. |
| OregonianShawn LevyA gripping movie about espionage, loyalty and betrayal. |
