The Forgotten Matt Damon Flop Defying Odds And Killing It On Netflix
The Forgotten Matt Damon Flop Defying Odds And Killing It On Netflix Universal Pictures

Matt Damon is a prolific actor, known for big movies like Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, and the Bourne franchise. He s long been considered one of the most successful actors in Hollywood thanks to his impressive range and extensive repertoire, not to mention his longtime collaboration with Ben Affleck. While Damon has definitely had more than his fair share of shady moments, he remains an integral part of the film industry.
Now streaming on: Green Zone looks at an American war in a way almost no Hollywood movie ever has: We re not the heroes, but the dupes. Its message is that Iraq s fabled weapons of mass destruction did not exist, and that neocons within the administration fabricated them, lied about them and were ready to kill to cover up their deception.
Is this true? I m not here to say. It s certainly one more element in the new narrative that has gradually emerged about Iraq, the dawning realization that we went to war under false premises. Green Zone, directed by Paul Greengrass, is a thriller that makes no claim to be based on fact, but provides characters and situations that have uncanny real-life parallels. Its director made two of the Bourne films, and imports his approach to Baghdad, starring Matt Damon as an unstoppable action hero.
