Green Zone (2010)
During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his team of Army inspectors are dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that threatens to invert the purpose of their mission.

The story is adding drama and killings that were a bit much. Otherwise, good acting and realistic scenes.
This film started well but failed to captivate me. The closing action sequences film being shot in the dark with shaky cam were painful to sit through. Its no surprise this film lost money.Im afraid this is a rare miss from paul greengrass
(55%) A simply plotted early days of the Iraq war movie that doesn't dig too deep into politics and media edited history unlike the rather tiresome "Zero dark thirty", but rather tells its story in a much more manageable and believable manner. I don't really care much for Greengrass' style of direction, and I never have, as it can detract from whatever's going on which for me is a big no-no, but here it's not overly distracting. And with the plot being pretty basic to say the least the action is allowed to just get on with it, resulting in some quite exciting moments set around a realistic setting. Overall not a bad little movie by any means, just not something I'd want to pay money to watch.
Pretty lame. Very contrived, implausible and blatantly left-wing. Starts off well enough, but the more the plot was revealed, the more convoluted, yet ultimately predictable, it became.Direction is fairly poor. Paul Greengrass thinks that waving a camera around makes a film more realistic. It might, but it also makes the audience nauseous, and bored. The action sequences go on forever, and one chase scene had me reaching for the fast forward button (and even then it was boring).Matt Damon does his standard action-man routine, very reminiscent of the Bourne series, and does it well. Greg Kinnear does his usual B-grade bad guy act. Brendon Gleeson and Amy Ryan are solid in their roles.Such a good build-up, wasted on political correctness and left-wing sympathies.
