Not sure how George Clooney winds up with best supporting out of this. It’s more of a bit role. Or “intermittent” at the most. I love Clooney but I don’t see the award winner here. I guess they really did feel they had to give him SOMETHING!

Uneven. Some messages clear = US government will seek to control oil situation, no matter the cost. No matter whether it will keep that world backwards in terms of women’s rights, etc. Other parts not so clear. The Matt Damon storyline achieved what? Just human interest? A more human connection to the Prince?

Good. Thought provoking. But not great. “Good night, Good Luck” = much better movie.
