Syriana - (Stephen Gaghan;2005;USA)
A film about the oil industry and the people involved from corporation tycoons, Arab youths, a Prince, energy official, lawyer, and a CIA agent.
One of the most relevant films around today. It holds onto our fascination through much of the film, although at times getting too complex and at others not enough, like the quick transition of the two men who become suicide bombers. However this film has wonderful acting, music, and especially cinematography. If it shows something, it's that the wealth of the few is created by the sweat and blood of many.
