Review of Green Zone (2010) by Russell G — 07 Sep 2012
This movie has plenty of excitement but the plot is very straightforward with only few surprises. I wish this movie had not been so close to the realities of the W Bush administration and their intelligence to go to war in Iraq.
It is too close to reality to ignore but it lacks the facts to make a poignant statement. The cast was the strength of this movie. Matt Damon Greg Kinnear and Brendan Gleeson do a great job and build strong and effective characters.
The plot is not as dramatic or as complicated as I would have liked and that is the ceiling for the movie. I do like the direction by Paul Greengrass his fast paced camerawork gives intensity and puts the audience in the right mood.
It is too bad the plot cannot meet the level of the Director and cast. It is entertaining but it feels like a little bit of a lost opportunity to do more.
