Green Zone Trailer
Tue, October 27, 2009 Yahoo! Movies has unveiled the theatrical trailer for Green Zone, the Iraq War-set action thriller starring Matt Damon and helmed by Paul Greengrass. The actor/director duo, of course, collaborated on the last two Jason Bourne films to great success (and may or may not return for a fourth go-around).
Going 100% off this trailer, I like what I see. Besides the afore-mentioned Damon and Greengrass, Zone (opening March 12, 2010) also features Amy Ryan (from 2007s finest film Gone Baby Gone) and the always-great Greg Kinnear (even if the film he's in is pure shit). Unlike previous efforts set in the Middle East, this one doesn't come across as talking down to us little people with "a message."
It looks like a geuninely entertaining action thriller. Then again, Peter Berg's excellent The Kingdom was quiet the crowd-pleaser (people cheered during my screening) and that tanked at the box-office. And as retarded as I may sound for suggesting this (certainly not the first time - nor will it be the last), but this feels like the unofficial version of Bourne 4 at the half-way point of the trailer.
