Haven't seen or heard of that one. Sounds like you enjoyed it.
Now then:

I can't recommend "Syriana" at all. The acting was great. Clooney, Damon, et al were fine, but the plot was so bloody complicated that it made my head spin.
And I wasn't the only one. Vivienne (who is pretty darn clever at figuring plots out) didn't grasp all the sub-plots either. We heard similar comment from others leaving the theatre.
Overall, yes, it was about oil, and they wanted to knock off a certain person, etc, but if a person doesn't get all the follow-up to the climax, it's got to be a lousy show, no matter who's in it.
Anybody else see this and agree?
