It's not everyday that you see George Clooney and Matt Damon in a movie with a political statement.
Syriana shows us how the lives of several people in the Middle East intertwine, and whether they are led by greed or idealism, all of them are walking a dangerous path. In the end, everyone is a victim.
This movie came out last year, and it is probably being shown in the Philippines only now because of the Academy nominations.
There is violence, although the blood that flows is implied rather than shown. The effect on the audience is just as heavy ... which shows that a movie need not be gory to have an impact.
Nothing is really resolved at the end of this movie.
The question that hangs on everyone's head is: will we let this go on? If that is one of the moviemakers' objective, then they have succeeded.
