Green Zone: Review By Julian Left

Very good action movie. It has suspense, it has government conspiracy, it has good action scenes, it has chases and turn-ups but with all that this was not the best movie of the genre, it was good, entertaining but far from being something great. The storyline is based on the fact that the war in Iraq itself was in fact made up (like Yea... this is so new news...) because it was a great opportunity to take advantage of the country but considering the costs it lacks of sense. And of course as the title of my review suggests, I do share the same idea that the Iraqi people should decide what they want to do with their country, they should rule it and not some invaders after all... no matter those invaders are U.S. or France...

Matt Damon pulled a great play for his character and I guess we all agree that it suits well for him to be a bad-ass. I enjoyed his performance and that's another thing that made this movie so entertaining.

Green Zone also has a great sound editing but the video editing kinda sucked on the close-captioned fights. The movie was cut too much and too fast not to mention that you couldn't see pretty much in the night-fight scenes. The cinematography was better than the video editing itself.

The score for this movie was on the same line with the film which made it more like the movie you want to see what happens next.

Of course the plot isn't that great, but is it me, either I was in the mood to watch this movie or I was bored by other things but I found this movie entertaining enough to deserve a decent rating and a nice good job to the makers.
