Green Zone

British director Paul Greengrass reunited with Matt Damon for this thriller set in Iraq. The story follows a US officer after the invasion who's eager to find the weapons of mass destruction. However he finds out there's no evidence for the weapons but follows a lead of a cover up by the Pentagon. Greengrass puts on screen what everybody knows about the initial phase of the Iraq war in an effective way which works as an action film and a political thriller. Matt Damon brings the intensity and integrity of his "Bourne" character while Greg Kinnear is effective as the Pentagon henchman. The solid support cast includes Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson and Khalid Abdalla. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
