Green Zone By Paul Greengrass

The Green Zone is a loud, fast and for most of it's time a smart action film. And really is a Bourne film in many ways, only that it isn't.

Unlike The Hurt Locker, Green Zone wears it's politics on it's sleave. The whole film is damning indictment n those political leaders that chose to believe the lie of WMD's in Irag, so a war could be raged, and a puppet regime installed to take control of the countries vast oil reserves.

And for a clear majority of the film, I was on the edge of my seat, flying through each sequence not knowing where I was going and this has a lot to do with how Greengrass lays out his story but also due to the fact that he himself didn't know the ending of the film while they were making it.

All the performances are solid, every one plays their part.

But the film really belongs to Greengrass of Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum fame and his editor. He seems to have finally found a film that perfectly suits his style. There is a sequence which I ill not describe as it comes at the end of the film that is breathtaking. It twists and turns and you never quite know how it will end.

Thank you to all those involved.
