Before the Americans and the Communists were all good all bad (except those who deserted), then the Americans were all good and the Arabs all bad. Now there are good Americans and bad Americans. The Americans are good ones who want the truth, the Americans bad guys are those who whitewash for their own advantage.
Chief Miller ( Matt Damon), an excellent foreman who is in the desert with the cool glasses of Oakley, is a good and would like to know the truth about the war to his countrymen, but some big sticky piece of intelligence services is particularly determined to stop him.
With GREEN ZONE the couple Paul Greengrass - Matt Damon promised after the Bourne saga (episode two and three) a good dose of chases, fights, shootings, cheating, betrayal etc etc ... so I went to the movies accompanied by two friends males. Because there is little you can do some movies go it's better if you see them with other men. My desire was to turn off your brain and enjoy two hours of film to be hard, but in reality it did not happen. Maybe that's why I have to wait The Expendables and A-TEAM ...
of shootings, car chases etc. you see them, but everything is kept on a lower level than the main focus of the story, or the pursuit of truth on those fucking weapons of mass destruction, with tricks of espionage between intelligence officers, politicians, generals in Iraq, sboroni soldiers and curious journalists. The action scenes are not the main attraction, is only a necessary step to advance the story. GREEN ZONE therefore more like Syrian that the saga of BOURNE where the spectator was sitting in a chair and waited in anticipation for the impending slaughter that Jason was about to unleash.
GREEN ZONE is different from BOURNE, not only because this film Greengrass purports to explain the lies that led to the Iraq and not to tell a "simple" tale of espionage, but also because Baghdad was so destroyed that it could not withstand even a chase or a fight with the protagonist Jason Bourne. In Berlin, caused more damage that the bombing of the Second World War.
Matt Damon is perfect in the interpretation of Miller, the character if I wanted a little 'less professional and pure soul and a bit' harder and shit. If in Iraq there was Jason, the first to be won if the war itself, and the second would have made a clean sweep in the American house.
To American GREEN ZONE did not like enough, perhaps because it was not pleasing to the interpretation given to the story of Greengrass. In Italy at the box office has not gone very well, but even worse, earning one million euro.
I basically liked it but I was not impressed, it seemed pleasant but not exceptional
