Director : Paul Greengrass
Running Time : 115 mins
When American Army Officer Roy Miller (Damon) is told by CIA operative Marty Brown (Gleeson) that there are no weapons of mass destruction hidden in Iraq and that the American government is making claims of weapons in order to take over the country and install a puppet leader, he goes rogue and makes it his duty to discover the truth.
This is a fast paced thriller that doesn’t mess around in getting down to things, but it failed to latch onto the amount of twists that it could have taken. Miller instantly trusts Brown, but it would have been nice if the writers could have made Brown a little less trustworthy as it would have added to the intrigue of the film. Damon is pretty good, as are the supporting cast, but the fact that this movie – about deception on a grand scale – is so straight forward makes it a little disappointing.
