One thing it'll do is restore your faith in all of us still maintaining enough liberties that allows such a movie to be even made and shown as this is truly a condemnation of big oil as well as conduct of the U.S. government in the Middle-East, be it under a fictional scenario. I will not spoil the storyline for you here but some of my favorite parts include the comparison Bryan Woodman (Matt Damon) makes between Prince Nasir and Mossadegh, as well as this line from one of the corrupt characters in the movie:And in case you are wondering where the name comes from, Tom Burns explains: The term "Syriana" is used to describe a Western geopolitical wet dream. One character explains it as, "[a] new country ... drawn from Iran, Iraq, and Syria--a federation--with separate states for each religion and tribe.
