What are some great political thrillers?

I've watched

>The Ghost Writer
>The Manchurian Candidate
>Syriana
>All the President's Men

What else should I watch? I really enjoyed Syriana's direction and tone, same with Polanski's Ghost Writer.

Maybe I'll give it another go

>>71938202
THE KINGDOM IS AWESOME THOUGH IT GETS MORE BASIC AS IT MOVES FORWARD

THE MOVIE IS CONCENTRATED IN ITS OPENING SEQUENCE

RELUCTANT FUNDAMENTALIST WAS OK, SIDDIG DOES A GOOD JOB BUT PRETTY FORGETTABLE

Thanks for reminding me about this - RIP Phillip. I'll grab this too.

Don't forget Rendition my man. Similar to Syriana but not as wide in scope.

Did you not see Rules Of Engagement by the same writer?
>>
Oh DAMN that reminds me OP, Rules Of Engagement by the guy who wrote/directed Syriana.

Also try Munich (2005) and The Baader Meinhof Complex.

in case you haven't heard, 4chan is just the mirror world tumblr now. It doesn't matter if a movie is actually well made or enjoyable, if it doesn't conform to your personal politics the only thing it's good for is using it as a platform to tell everyone how triggered you are.

I've seen this and enjoyed it quite a bit. Is it because it sheds light on the fact that women are human, and that they lie and deceive too - as well as the themes of false allegations.?
>>

Thanks for ruining it for OP

>Anyone seen Traffic? Any good?

Now that you mention it, Traffic is probably the only film that matches Syriana and its half a dozen plotlines. It's great, especially if you're a del Taco fan.
