The story is adding drama and killings that were a bit much. Otherwise, good acting and realistic scenes.

Green Zone has been classified as a rare miss for both Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass. We remember when Green Zone was first released showing the trailers, it was relatively hyped up and described as a "Bourne film in war". The film wasn't received as well as the first three Bourne films and has flopped at the box office. Within the story, It's 2003, where we see Matt Damon plays (Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller), head of a WMD-finding unit in Baghdad which keeps coming up empty at all the alleged sites. Suspecting bad leads, Miller goes maverick in his attempts to trace their original source, raising eyebrows and fighting the received orthodoxy. With all we know about the wool-pulling to make the case for war, it's a kick to follow a main character on the ground who smells a rat this early, wary of the stalling tactics the Pentagon are offering instead of conclusive proof.Overall Green Zone doesn't grad the attention as one would have hoped for. It has its moments but in comparison to the Bourne films, Green Zone doesn't stack up and comes up short. Also compared to the Hurt Locker, in which we can see some similarities but the Hurt Locker feels as much of a more superior film.

This movie cops out and cuts corners in nearly every way possible. Hey you want to show a partially destroyed building, yeah lots not make a set lets just use obvious CGI. Hey instead of firing blanks and using squibs to show bullet impact, lets use CGI. Yeah that's right, sh!tty CG for the muzzle flash, sh!tty CG for the smoke the gun produces, and sh!tty CG for any and all bullet impacts. I don't understand why you would make a movie like this and just halfass it. It's not relying on a strong or compelling story. The characters are bland and we know the outcome before the movie even starts: there are no WMDs. It doesn't try to be realistic about anything either. The soldiers never show trigger discipline, always fire on full auto, and nobody ever seems to miss a shot no matter how inaccurate their full auto fire should be. So what is Green Zone even going for? The action is still enjoyable to watch in a dumb mind numbing way (even if a clichéd action movie soundtracks plays throughout every intense scene instead of letting the ambient noises create the atmosphere itself), and any conspiracy movie is intriguing in some sense as long as it isn't total garbage. So although I cannot recommend this movie I can't say it's totally unwatchable. Unless you hate hand-held, then yes the majority of this movie is totally unwatchable shaky cam with quick cut editing. No, this movie suffers from being average in every single category.

So here it is 2010 and there is a lot of Grief, Suffering, and Embarrassment to Go Around. So the Movie is a Catharsis of Sorts for those Frustrated at Themselves for being so Gullible as the Leaders that with Slight of Hand Sold a Lie and so many Died and so many were brought Pain. Here it is 2010. Maybe the Movie will Help Ease that a Little with a Release of Adrenaline Spewed at those who are Responsible.The Film was not a Hit. It did Mediocre Business and the Critics were on Both Sides of the Border. The Enjoyment of the Movie is most likely Directly Attached to Your Political Leanings and says Nothing about the Film on its Own. As it Stands it is a Competent Wartime Thriller that is Enhanced by the War Torn Locations and the Chaotic Invasion and Plays like "as it is happening".But it it a Bitter Pill to Swallow because of the Truth Factor about "No WMDs" and the Unclear Motivations (unless it is oil) for Invading in the First Place. Matt Damon Heads a Good Cast and it is all done with Gravitas and Suspense. The Battle Scenes are Cutting Edge Exciting (if you can handle the shaky-cam). But in the End there is a Bad Taste. It is the Repellent Real Events and not the Movie. It just Cannot Separate Itself from Recent Revelations and the Fact that No One has Taken Responsibility for all the Carnage and Deception. It Remains a Sad State of Affairs and the Film is Tainted by that Poison.
