The Middle Eastern oil industry is the backdrop of this tense drama, which weaves together numerous story lines. Bennett Holiday is an American lawyer in charge of facilitating a dubious merger of oil companies, while Bryan Woodman, a Switzerland-based energy analyst, experiences both personal tragedy and opportunity during a visit with Arabian royalty. Meanwhile, veteran CIA agent Bob Barnes uncovers an assassination plot with unsettling origins.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dense, interconnected thriller that unfolds like a conspiracy being pieced together in real time, intimate character moments sit uneasily alongside shadowy institutional machinery. Watching it demands you track multiple threads and accept that the system is too vast and compromised to ever fully resolve.
