Green Zone

I’m having a bit of a Paul Greengrass / Matt Damon moment, so when I saw Green Zone on offer in Morrisons for £3 I just knew I had to give it a go. I’d never heard of it before, and using the DVD sleeve as guidance I took it to basically be another Bourne film with double-crossing bureaucrats causing confusion on the ground leading Matt Damon to have to sort out the disaster on his own and in direct defiance of his superiors; all with epic explosion/car chase/ fight sequences but this time without the inconvenience of amnesia. I was sold, the DVD was purchased, and sweeping shots of Iraq were on the TV screen faster than you could say ‘Treadstone’.
