'Green Zone'

Finally had a chance to watch the Green Zone film tonight about the whole Iraq WMD fiasco and starring Matt Damon.  Probably not for everyone in content and/or style - its box office results would surely lead one to that conclusion - but I enjoyed it.  

I thought this was clearly the most polemic film by Paul Greengrass since his great Bloody Sunday that first garnered him some widespread attention.  (That one recounted the 1972 Derry civil rights march and its tragic aftermath.)  I never have a problem with his jumpy, hand-held directorial style because some of my favorite TV shows are that way too, starting with Homicide in the 1990s.
