Surprised there wasn't a thread for this, probably the best film I'd seen in a while.
Matt Damon is a soldier looking for WMD's in Iraq, he pretty quickly realises he's being fed faulty intel and sets about discovering the source while a Pentagon guy continually tries to sandbag him.
It's directed by Greengrass, so there's a bit of Parkinson's camera work going on, but the action seems more plausible and you're more invested in the story than the Bourne films, so I didn't find it anywhere as distracting.
Unfortunately Brendon Gleeson's US accent was woeful. Sounding like an Irishman taking the piss out of a US accent underwater.
