A good movie

Following ‘The Bourne Supremacy’ and ‘The Bourne Ultimatum’, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass decided to do something completely different together this time, to the despair of their studio. Eventually, it turned out to be a huge flop when it was released but I still wanted to check it out anyway. Well, the main issue with this movie was that, from the start, you already had the answers about what was going on (Basically, there were no WMDs in Irak, in spite what the Bush administration said). So, as a viewer, it was not really rewarding to watch since there was nothing much at stake. Still, in spite of these flaws, I thought it was an entertaining flick. Indeed, Greengrass is a very talented director, the movie had a really realistic feeling and I enjoyed the decent performances delivered by the cast (Matt Damon, Brendan Gleeson, Greg Kinnear). Above all, it gave a good look (even if it was a fiction) on the war in Irak which was/is pretty dirty and rather messed up. In spite of what they say, it was eventually all about political power and intrigues and it had nothing to do with improving the life of the poor Iraki people. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, I still think it was a well made, interesting and entertaining thriller and it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Paul Greengrass's previous work.
