Title: Disjointed, boring mess
Product review: This movie is listed as a thriller on Netflix, but there is nothing thrilling about it. It is very slow paced, particularly since it is only 126 minutes long-it felt much longer than that (like Lord of the Rings long). It is also hard to follow because it jumps all over the place and the cast seems to be in the hundreds. George Clooney plays the stereotypical amoral CIA agent who becomes disillusioned with his work. Matt Damon plays the fast talking energy trader with starry-eyed dreams of reforming the Middle East. Then there are the cartoonish Texas oil men, US politicians, CIA types, Arabs, and Chinese. This movie is just more conspiracy theory junk about how the American government and oil industry is bad and the Arabs are helpless, good people that are being exploited. I couldn't wait for it to end-not even worth renting.
