Green Zone: Blu Ray Review

Green Zone: Blu Ray Review

Green Zone

Rating: M
Released by Universal Home Pictures

The team behind the successful run of Bourne movies have reunited for this thriller set in Iraq after the 2003 war.

Matt Damon is Captain Roy Miller, who's in charge of the hunt for WMDs - but every lead they're following turns out to be a dud; each time they're sent in, there's absolutely no trace of anything.

So with suspicions aroused over duff intelligence, Miller starts to follow his own leads - and finds himself slap bang in the middle of a major conspiracy.

Matt Damon continues to push his image as the dependably stoic and intelligent everyman that has seen him become a big screen success; Green Zone itself is a conspiracy thriller which takes a little while to unravel but if you have your wits about you, you can see where it's going - and how it will end.

Overall it's a solid thriller with some great set pieces and a certain level of tension - once again, it's another good performance into Matt Damon's career.

Extras: Behind the scenes, commentary with director Greengrass and Damon, docos on how the making and how Damon prepared - a good solid bunch.

Rating: 8/10
