Green Zone - a revelation we have been waiting for

If you enjoyed Bourne Supremacy & Bourne Ultimatum, trust me you will not be disappointed with Matt Damon's latest film: Green Zone. Gripping, whiplash and invigorating; it is worth every cent of your money. I bet you won't even touch your drink or pop that popcorn in your mouth coz it's so smooth and moving that it glues your eyes to the screen, almost without a blink.


What I like to take away from the movie is that it is an example the folly of ignorance and ambition emanating from inside the Green Zone, a safety area including the old Republican Palace where American decision-makers remain cut off from the Iraqi reality. Like finally, someone has the courage (and balls) to show the asininity of the US government. Accolades to Paul Greengrass and the Bourne team for the ingenious masterpiece. Genial!!


If you have the time, pls get hold of a fantastic read by former Washington Post Baghdad chief Rajiv Chandrasekaran, "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone", where the movie takes inspiration.
