Paul Greengrass has taken the Green Zone from Rajiv Chandrasekaran's thoughtfully observed Imperial Life in the Emerald City and fashioned it into his own heart-pounding Greengrass Zone; and while it's a skillful transformation, it's debatable how much of the source material's subtlety and insight remain.
