I saw this movie with 6 other friends and we all decided it was absolutely horrible.

I really hated how they introduced a new character with 15 minutes left in the movie, and how they changed locations every 2 minutes.

This is going to go on my list of litmus test movies along with stuff like Glengary Glen Ross, Sideways, and Crash (the last one being a [censored] terrible movie). If someone thought Syriana sucked then I can trust that they have terrible taste in intelligent movies.

Thankfully, I can still turn to these people if I need a good review of Vin Diesel Extreme: Part III.

I agree, it was a really good movie. As was Constant Gardener.

I had to see it a second time and make sure to read up on who the characters were before going back, but after the second time watching it I thought it was damn good. The first time, I saw it tired and was totally unprepared for what it was.

I like intelligent movies.

The movie does the book little justice.
