Matt Damon’s first collaboration with director Paul Greengrass was 2004’s The Bourne Supremacy (in my opinion the best of the series). We’ll have to wait until next March to find out how Green Zone compares. Based loosely on the book Imperial Life in the Emerald City the story follows a CIA search for WMDs during [...]
