Review of Green Zone (2010) by Grant S — 20 Feb 2011
Pretty lame. Very contrived, implausible and blatantly left-wing. Starts off well enough, but the more the plot was revealed, the more convoluted, yet ultimately predictable, it became.
Direction is fairly poor. Paul Greengrass thinks that waving a camera around makes a film more realistic. It might, but it also makes the audience nauseous, and bored. The action sequences go on forever, and one chase scene had me reaching for the fast forward button (and even then it was boring).
Matt Damon does his standard action-man routine, very reminiscent of the Bourne series, and does it well. Greg Kinnear does his usual B-grade bad guy act. Brendon Gleeson and Amy Ryan are solid in their roles.
Such a good build-up, wasted on political correctness and left-wing sympathies.
