SYRIANA is getting generally good reviews, and Sid is getting very good reviews as Prince Nasir. At the moment, SYRIANA has an 80% positive rating at RottenTomatoes.com and 77% at MetaCritic.com (two sites that collect reviews and tally them for a collective result). With so many reviews to wade through - and a lot of them divulging spoilers - I thought it might be helpful to extract just the Sid mentions for those who are interested. (The full reviews are posted elsewhere in this forum.)
