Please recommend me a "smart" movie like Syriana, JFK or Margin Call

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

I am eagerly awaiting your suggestions. I suppose the 3 criteria have to be:
1) a plot about something of magnitude (big business / diplomacy / etc.).
2) realistic, plot and characters. Nothing over the top, I don't need idealistic crap.
3) not time wasted on characters' feelings.

For those of you who have seen Syriana (in my top 5 GOAT movies), it fits all criteria.

Txs in advance !

Smart Movie starring Leslie Nielsen.

Just kidding. Check out The International with a Clive Owen. I just recently watched it and thought it was really good.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Yeah I would need to give that one another go. Saw it a long time ago when I was really tired, expecting something else. Good call.

Didn't expect to get beaten to the Michael Clayton punch.

March of the Ides

Out of sight is a very smart film that fits none of your criteria.

You'll probably like Body of Lies, and The Green Zone

Thirteen Days
The first half hour of The Darkest Hour

Oh yeah, not political, but Master and Commander.
