Yeah, this one surprised me also. I have a man-crush on Clooney and have loved everything he is in (inlcuding the Ocean's series). I enjoy political intrique type movies. People had warned me it is very complex, which is right up my alley also. That said, I didn't find the complexity to mean good. Memento and Primer were movies that made me really concentrate and think that were outstanding. This one made me keep trying to figure out who people were with no real payoff. I won't spoil it here in this thread anymore than I already did, but I will give it 5/10. Would love to hear why this is so praised except maybe for political reasons but sadly I didn't think those were all that damning (or shocking) either. Bill Mahar gives me more than be upset about every week on his show than Syriana.
