“Syriana,” April 10, 2006 (2005), airplane from Bahrain (how apt as it appears to be almost about Bahrain itself). George Clooney et.al., screw up the Middle East in this muddled look at CIA duplicity, American manipulation, oil company power, and the seeming futility of ‘good rulers’ trying to change the game. It’s rather confused but still worth seeing just for the attempt at dealing with something this big and meaningful.
