While most audience members know Paul Greengrass best as the director of the two best regarded Jason Bourne movies, that’s not where his true specialty resides. He’s far more at home crafting hard hitting docudramas. Bloody Sunday was his calling card film, while United 93 remains his finest hour. It’s in that vein that his latest work firmly sits. 22 July not only marks Greengrass’ return to this style of movie making, it also represents his first foray into putting something out on Netflix. A long and somber true story like this may not be your first assumption for a Netflix release, but the quality here should draw you in. If you don’t know what 22 July stands for, it represents the day that Norway suffered the worst terrorist attack in that country’s history.

July 22, 2011 is the date of the horrific terrorist attack in Norway when 77 people, mostly children, were massacred by a right-wing extremist. 22 July is director Paul Greengrass’ powerful, tense docu-drama about that tragedy, but the film is more about Norway and the people attacked than about home-grown right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and his attack.
Paul Greengrass has built a reputation for gripping and strikingly realistic films about actual events with Captain Phillips and United 93, but has built a reputation for taut thrillers with the Bourne movies. Greengrass brings both skills to bear in 22 July, crafting a tension-filled film, but focuses less on the attack and more on its aftermath. Greengrass also wrote the script, based on journalist Asne Seierstad’s book “One of Us.

After one film this year about the 2011 Norway attacks, in which right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik killed 77 in the worst attack in the country since the Second World War, I’m not sure we need another. However, Paul Greengrass has proven to be adept at capturing harrowing real-life tragedies in the past, and we’ll find out soon if his new drama is a compelling retelling of this story as it premieres tomorrow at Venice.
