The story
It's 2003. Heavy US bombing destroy the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the whole world is waiting for the moment when the Iraqi nuclear weapons finally be found. Whoever waits for the discovery of nuclear weapons is Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon). His WITH D team has been tasked to detect nuclear weapons that would be hidden in the Iraqi desert. Following 'very reliable' information go Miller and his team all suspect sites, but they find nothing for months. Miller tries his superiors to indicate that the information is not correct, but they want to hear nothing of it. If the CIA led by Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson) also have doubts, go to the accuracy of the information Miller, with his team and helpful Iraqi Freddy (Khalid Abdalla), seeking the truth. Miller's quest for the truth leads him to the Chief Defence Intelligence (Greg Kinnear) who wants to know nothing of erroneous information; he really knows nothing about or are higher filthy games played? It is for Miller to present evidence before the war escalates.
The Green Zone
Director Paul Greengrass would like to make an exciting movie. So he wondered what would be the most dangerous place in the world. That was Iraq. And so came the first idea for Green Zone. The film was not about the war in Iraq, but it had a thriller that took place in Iraq, based on the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone written by former Washington Post editor Rajiv Chandrasekaran. Ultimately, the film and the book very little in common; the book is a documentation of the early days of the occupation of Iraq, the film has become a thriller with a plot, a main character and a lot of action.
The Green Zone is thus really and is an area of ??ten square kilometers in Baghdad where the Coalition Provisional Authority (the interim government) house holds and it is also the center of an international presence in the city. A paradise in the tormented Baghdad, where attendees can paddle in the pool or feast on a pizza slice of Pizza Hut.
Credible thriller
The Green Zone is in the movie as a central place where predominate corruption and hypocrisy. Because while the residents of Baghdad begging for water, swim the US diplomats there. Greengrass is there to make known outstanding research for his films, and it's clear to see that he has done that for Green Zone. This results in a realistic thriller with depth. Greengrass left the advice of a real Chief Warrant Officer Richard Lamont Gonzales, to make the film as authentic as possible. The members of the MET D team Miller are real veterans, they made sure that the film is similar as possible to reality. In comparison to other war films the MET D also remarkably taciturn. The Iraqi extras who beg for water, and the American presence with doubt in their eyes watching, credible. The character of Freddy that is being harshly by the Americans against the ground as he wants to help them, actually embodies the powerlessness of the country. Throughout the film dominates the famous movie chaotic style of Greengrass, where he uses a lot of close-ups; hand-held cameras and fast pan programs, contribute to the sense of reality.
Unnecessary hero
However, less realistic is the character of Matt Damon. He is a versatile actor who can play different characters. Matt Damon is a man with whom to identify themselves and that makes him do well in movies like this. This movie would have been a breeze for him as we see an exact copy of Jason Bourne to work. The bold look, the few words, and the righteous heart make him a favorite hero. The presence of a hero makes this film a typical Hollywood thriller and it was not necessary. Unlike the Bourne movies Greenzone goes namely deeper into political intrigue. The film is grayer and more credible. It is a pity that the main character remains so superficial. Finally, if downside, there is also the journalist (Amy Ryan), an unavoidable factor in the detection of corruption. The only female presence in the film is actually totally unnecessary. Even more crooked toes would have been if the journalist was once the love interest of Miller. That happened not happy. Because Miller was looking for the truth, not for sex.
Conclusion
Green Zone has become a solid thriller with political overtones. The film is more accessible than United 93 and more intelligent than the Bourne movies (all directed by Greengrass). The employee ring of many veterans and outstanding research Greengrass will make this film happen very realistic. However, the acting of most actors is not surprising, as Damon and Kinnear play on autopilot while Gleeson and Abdalla provide a solid contribution to the realism of the film. Green Zone is a surprising film that definitely 'greenlight' deserves to visit the cinema.
