One of the advantages of a writers' strike is that you get a chance to clean out some of the DVR backlog. Tonight I watched Syriana (2005,R) (ScreenIt! Review). From ScreenIt!:
The complex paths of disparate individuals eventually converge as the U.S. government and a corporate oil giant position themselves in response to an Arab Gulf State seeking to realign its oil ties and business.
The multiple plot lines were a challenge to follow, but I enjoyed it and thought that the treatment of petroleum politics had the ring of truth. I give it 4 out of 5.
