Jack the Ripper. Few names live in such infamy, and rightly so. The man was an absolute butcher who's never been 100% identified by all those who have pursued his gruesome case files. Now, decades later, he's back!

Genre: Action/ WarDirector: Paul GreengrassCast: Matt Damon, Yigal Naor, Said Faraj Aymen Hamdouchi Synopsis: During the Us-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of inspectors are dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. While searching for deadly chemical agents, the men stumble upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission. Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that’ll either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. ...

While director Paul Greengrass used a shaky cam to lend grit and authenticity to Green Zone -- his take on what really happened in the search for weapons of mass destruction at onset of the Iraq War -- actor Matt Damon gives it a human face. Damon makes his character, Roy Miller, the chief petty officer in charge of the search, fret and sweat as he goes off into the wilds of Baghdad. Yet it's 43-year-old actor Said Faraj who give the film a verisimilitude. With a life story right out of any war-torn Middle Eastern land, Faraj invests his character, the military adjunct to a top Ba'ath Party general, with his own perspective, having survived the Lebanese Civil War in the 1980s. Born in Choueifat, Lebanon, Faraj was 13 when his Beruit-based family -- members of the Druze reformatory Islamic...
