He's our gellin'est source.

(that's a pretty slick trailer)

They should have just called it The Bourne Zone.

This film would have be more interesting if it had a different actor, so I don't have a lot of optimism for this but my fingers are crossed.

Drinking Game: The Movie

[Gamblour.]

They should have just called it The Bourne Zone.

No shit. When heard about a movie set in Iraq, I definitely imagined looking something more like a story that would actually happen in Iraq, and have less than completely trite dialogue. I was wrong. This looks so pointless.

They should have just called it The Bourne Zone.

This looks so pointless.

I'm fine with both these things.

international trailer. a little less bournesy. more plot revealing though.

this is another installment of political thriller: 2.0 - along with the international, quantum of solace, and the kingdom - in which some screenwriter reads an insider book that depicts some complex issue such as the business of war, counter-terrorism, corporate crimes, or in this case - the green zone - and decides to give the bad guys machine guns.  the book in this case is "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone", one that has nothing to do with special force dudes punching regular soldiers in the face.  It's actually credited on the IMDB.

I really wish Greengrass would make something as powerful and moving as United 93 or Bloody Sunday again. A real, gritty, no apologies take on the Iraq war would've been nice.

after generation kill, it really feels like nothing more could be added to it.  nearly all of the iraq movies came out have been extremely simplistic and the battle scenes never ever looked like they actually took place in iraq.  in a few years they'll all be as laughable as the opening scene in the hunted - an otherwise great thriller.

oh my god this is boring. everyone is talking like a plot-delivering robot. i turned on the video commentary to see what it was like and matt damon is JUST AS BORED! he sits quietly, slumped in his chair, not saying a word until greengrass stops talking, then he just says what's happening on screen to fill the awkward silence. like "here's theeeeeee... uh. fake. decoy guy. i'm supposed to talk to."

he is on the verge of falling asleep.

This sounds like the most hilarious commentary track ever.
