The Bourne Ultimatum is the best film in the series.

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS will be kind of boring compared to 'A HiJACKiNG'

GREEN ZONE was boring compared to 'the hurt locker'

Thank you for this retrospective. There is nothing that compares to what Greengrass conveys in film or you in this literary retrospective. For your article to recount the sharp, human interactions when so much 'interaction' just isn't in this brave new world.

I think the 'clunky inert dialogue' between Hanks and Keener, along with the Somali scene of mothers running with their children away from the pirate recruiters illustrates the cost of globalism, and how, 'there but for the chaos of the universe, go I.'

Great article, just a small correction.

The events of "Bloody Sunday" do not take place in Belfast. They take place in Derry.

I'd also recommend the TV movie Omagh which Greengrass wrote. It's a good mix of his style and traditional docu-drama. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omagh_(film)
