Featuring special guest reviewer: my ma.
Ma: started watching green zone, stopped for dinner now. Might get dad to watch a bit since it’s a war in iraq.
Me: i haven’t seen it – is it good so far?
Ma: Yes, very fast moving camera work
Ma (later): Whooo, gripping stuff, so intense!!! Dad watched the whole movie…that says a lot about green zone. I searched a particular actor (the interpreter), turned out to be Egyptian Khalid Abdalah & acted in United 93 movie, also directed by Paul Greengrass. Will watch it tomorrow & let you know. Thanks for green zone, was waiting to exhale till the end! Good one👍👌
