Rating:  - Syriana 100% accurate in it's portrayal of oil, CIA, and terrorism.
Former CIA officer Robert Baer's book "See No Evil" inspired the film Syriana, about the Middle East, the oil industry and espionage. For people to comment that it is just conspiracy theory is totally ignorant and ridiculous.

Rating:  - Don't leave your brain at the door.
Sure, it's full of conspiracy. But, even those of us who normally don't subscribe to the depth of our government's involvement (covert) in other governments should be scared by the content of this movie.
