Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, United 93) re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in Green Zone, a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences. During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission. Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.

Green Zone
They've done it again. Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass combine for explosive, entertaining, sharp war action. Matt Damon is extremely solid in his role as CWO Roy Miller. Damon's infinite charisma and commanding on screen presence do good for the movie, and the supporting cast (Greg Kinnear and the lesser known actors) deliver as well. Noteworthy performances all around. Greengrass' continues to use his hand-held camera technique, which has never bothered me. In fact, it places the viewer in the middle of the action far better than shaky 3D effects that you see today. As we've witnessed on the two Bourne movies, Greengrass has the know-how for action scenes. However, Green Zone isn't just a plain action movie. It keeps the action-junkies entertained, but doesn't alienate those interested in politics either. Overall, Green Zone is an action film that stimulates the viewer more than the average, and with a few spectacular scenes one worth remembering. Entertainment guaranteed.

Just brilliant
People dissed this when it came out because it was Bourne in Iraq.... but who the hell doesn't want to see that? It's actually a BETTER film than that suggests, and I think it's on par with the third Bourne film, which was one of the best films of its year. It's an excellent movie through and through, exciting and brainy. SUPERB

Well worth a look
Don't go into this film believing it is Bourne all over again, it's much more intellegent and topical (and easier to follow too). The action sequences are blended well with the political thriller aspects and the whole film is very exciting. Well worth a watch and highly recommended.
