Syriana (2006)

The conspiracy theories abound in this movie about oil and the Middle East.  Set in Lebanon and a fictitious Arab country.  George Clooney and Matt Damon put in fair performances as respectively a CIA agent and a energy analyst turned financial advisor to a Prince/Emir.  It reduces nearly all the Americans dealing in with the Arabs in the movie to money grubbing and immoral people.  Perhaps it’s deserved and truthful, but seems rather too one sided.
