Gaghan wrote the script for Traffic, whose three complex story lines director Steven Soderbergh helpfully tinted in different colors. Nothing like that in Syriana. It zigzags from the Middle East to Europe to the U.S. as if to test both your patience and your eye-brain coordination. Yet the film does see the world in three colors: black, for the oil that brings out man's cunning and killer instinct; gray, for the shades of honor and self-interest by which the main players try to define themselves; and red, for the blood spilled in Allah...
