Syriana Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This is intelligent, committed, and politically provocative, though its narrative puzzle box may prompt you to throw up your hands and let ExxonMobil go on running the world.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Its dark, dog-eat-dog vision of the world we live in may give you geopolitical nightmares.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
It's entirely possible that Gaghan just isn't an actor's director.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Syriana impresses, not because it is very moving, which it isn't, or because it is crystal clear, which it also isn't, but because it is so large, so encompassing, so seemingly privy to inside stuff.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
If you want a movie that answers all your questions, try "Revenge of the Sith." If you want a movie that questions all your answers, try this one.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Didactic and muddled to the point of incoherence.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Syriana is so powerful, so audacious in its commentary the fact some of it doesn't snap together or that a few of the layers are left hanging doesn't end up mattering anywhere near as much as it should.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
The stories are all densely packed with detail and convincingly told.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
One of the most exciting movies of the year.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Watch closely and listen carefully during Syriana because Stephen Gaghan's movie is that rarity: a thinking person's drama.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It's hard to get passionately swept away by a movie when you're struggling continually to figure out who's doing what to whom and why.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
Syriana is an ambitious edifice, built with conviction and skill. But I'm not sure I understand it, and I'm not sure I care.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A purposely jagged and harsh news story of a film, Syriana attempts to take on the powers that run the world and for the most part it succeeds.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It forces you to intently watch and listen and ask questions, something that in the past six years has been skillfully portrayed as an unpatriotic response to an increasingly complex international scenario.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Syriana is a fascinating movie -- and a substantive and thought-provoking one -- but it does not necessarily attain greatness.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Intelligent, political, incensed, timely, and appropriately cynical.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Ken Tucker
As he did in Traffic, Gaghan intertwines his disparate subplots with impeccable pacing -- his screenplay is a model of how to arrange scenes so that each one ends leaving you wanting to know more.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
Your enjoyment of this movie will be in direct proportion to your patience. If you can stand not knowing everything right now and wait for the story's threads to weave into a rug, Syriana makes for an engaging time.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
Mr. Gaghan doesn't insult our intelligence, but he demands our attention. If you're up to those demands, you'll be rewarded.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Syriana 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.
