British director Paul Greengrass reunites with Matt Damon, in a movie that suitably mixes old-fashion action à la Bourne with the grittiness of war. While the direction and leads manage to tell a complex story without losing the sense of pace, Green Zone's most notable achievement is its stunning recreation of Baghdad. While the movie was actually shot in Spain, Morocco and the UK, somehow Green Zone feels like the real thing. Of course, one would not expect the crew to have been granted access to Baghdad's Holy of Holies, as the film alleges that the U.S. Government manufactured the evidence used to justify the invasion of Iraq. Support actors are spotless, too. Nice guy Greg Kinnear shows he can play a very convincing slime ball, and Amy Ryan as the journalist he used to achieve his goal, is top notch. A compelling tale of deceipt and political intrigue, and not a single stash of WMDs in sight.
