Green Zone(2010)
Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction,whose existence justified American involvement,according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad,Poundsgate. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons,it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Marty correctly anticipates that,despite Bush's gung-ho assurances, the policy is doomed to failure. Also suspicious of Poundsgate is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne,who lets slip to Miller that Poundsgate told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi,code-named Magellan,who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. Miller deduces that Magellan is General Al Rawi, a close supporter of the deposed Saddam Hussain and, accompanied by his interpreter, Freddy, a decent Iraqi who only wants stability for his country, sets out to track down Al Rawi. However, Poundsgate's men are also on Al Rawi's trail,to stop him from talking. After an explosive showdown Miller emails Lawrie to tell her that there never were any weapons,relying on her and other journalists to inform the world of Bush's deception.

Starring: Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson, Antoni Corone Director: Paul Greengrass » See full cast & crew Green Zone Blu-ray, Video QualityGreen Zone is filmed in an intentionally verité style that may leave some videophiles complaining about its VC-1 encoded 1080p image (in a 2.40:1 aspect ratio). The fact is this Blu-ray brilliantly reproduces Greengrass' original intent, with an amber-hued, slightly washed out look that brings the hot, fetid and dusty streets of Baghdad almost too close for comfort at times. Despite an abundance of grain and intentionally low contrast at times, detail here is spot on, at least from the "you are there" perspective the film employs. Swirls of dust snake through the obliterated cityscape with a sinister serpentine aspect, and the Blu-ray reveals extremely subtle shadings as they cover various buildings. Depth of field is excellent, especially in some of the aerial footage showing the ravages that "shock and awe" rained down on the Iraqi people. Some of the handheld footage is probably softer than some viewers are going to want, but again it brings a visceral quality to the film. The more staid set pieces are sharp as a tack, with an abundance of clarity and very subtle detail, as with the extremely pale streaks of blood that dot Damon's face after he has a run in with a Special Forces henchman. Green Zone Blu-ray, Audio QualityFrom the first bombastic moments of Green Zone, you know you're in for a devastatingly immersive experience via its literally stunning DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Mortar shells fly over the listener's head, rifle fire zings in from what seems like a million different directions, the chaotic shouts of soldiers and Iraqi passers-by litter the air, and a general sense of doom and mayhem fill the soundscape. It all adds up to a visceral approximation of what soldiers experience in their everyday existence in Iraq, and it rarely lets up for the next two hours. The entire film is very low end heavy, not only from the incessant explosions and other sounds of battle, but also the foreboding drone of John Powell's creepy underscore, which proffers a real sense of subliminal menace with its sustained low tones. Dialogue is frankly not always easy to hear, but that is certainly the intent of the filmmakers, as they recreate the pandemonium of being in battle. Dynamic range is astounding here. Note for example the impressive sonic change between the subdued meeting of General Al-Rawi and how it then erupts into an aural free for all as Miller and his troops make a surprise entrance. Spanish and French DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks are also offered, as well as a Descriptive Video Service. Green Zone: Other Editions
