Syriana Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Syriana 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.
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.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
Syriana coolly dissects a system of duplicity, chicanery and corruption that has been in play for several decades now, and examines the consequences that it has borne.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
One of the most exciting movies of the year.
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.
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.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Didactic and muddled to the point of incoherence.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
The stories are all densely packed with detail and convincingly told.
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.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Intelligent, political, incensed, timely, and appropriately cynical.
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.
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.
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.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Syriana is a fascinating movie -- and a substantive and thought-provoking one -- but it does not necessarily attain greatness.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
[Syriana] has what lots of great thrillers have, a sense that it knows things we don't, that even the most skeptical of us may be a little naive about the ways of the world.
