Page 5 of 31 Year 2005 ( 2 Movies ) § Shinobi  Website IMDB Wikipedia Shinobi centers on the drama resulting from the war between two ninja clans in the early part of the Tokugawa era... A Romeo and Juliet in the Land of the Rising Sun... Syriana  Website IMDB Source: Wikipedia Syriana has also been criticized for political reasons. Baer's book describes his attempts to assassinate Saddam Hussein, but in the movie the figure whom Clooney is to assassinate is a benevolent, liberal prince. (This may have been changed for authenticity, as the capture of Saddam Hussein took place two years before the movie's release.) Many, though not all of its critics come from the political right. Charles Krauthammer criticized the film for "anti-American" views and moral equivalence, stating that "Osama bin Laden could not have scripted this film with more conviction." Fellow Post columnist Richard Cohen (a self-described liberal) calls its portrayals of terrorists, the CIA, oil companies, and the U.S. government "crude clichés"
