Reviews of Green Zone 2010
-
Entertaining and effective movie, the premise is that a soldier actually cares about there being no WMDs, and basically goes awol, along with his squad, which is a hard sell, but the script doesn't waste any time trying to explain it, they just do it, the action is good, so is the pace and dialog, it's just nothing special.

MATT DAMON plays a more naive but equally tough JASON BOURNE character in a somehow smart PAUL GREENGRASS film that boldly criticizes the BUSH administration and his war with IRAK.

Paul Greengrass, de Britse iconoclast annex bommetjeswerper achter prangende pamfletten ('Bloody Sunday', 'United 93') en kinetische spektakelcinema ('The Bourne ultimatum') houdt opnieuw de vinger aan de pols in 'Green zone', een verfilming van Rajiv Chandrasekaran's non-fictierelaas: 'Imperial life in the Emerald City'. Alle nobele intenties en bedwelmende thrills ten spijt, maar een intense splinterbom zoals 's mans voorgenoemde laatste episode in de 'Bourne'-trilogie is 'Green zone' net niet geworden.
Centraal staat een team Amerikaanse CIA-agenten, dat onder leiding van Roy…

I clearly I missed how awesome this was or was supposed to be.
The action is fun enough, the conspiracy was off the peg & flat.
Performances are were just ok and story panned as expected.
Over-hyped but worth a watch. -
Average.

It has now been ten years since the initial United States invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. For those of us who lived in the United States, and those who followed the events, the events were the source of much rah-rah patriotism and lesser questioning. As we are now years on, the events and reasons leading up to the invasion have been highly questioned. We know now that there never were any WMDs in Iraq.
That is the inherent problem…

Favours accessibility over complexity, although still maintains a well executed, gripping narrative.

Interesting take on the motives of the government for going into Afghanistan and Roy Miller's questioning of those orders
More action and more interesting than The Hurt Locker

Green Zone (2010) you could say is a war film not really about war but about the lie resulted in a war. I'm talking about Iraq's WMD program that the U.S. government told the world existed when in fact it didn't. The film itself is entertaining, fast and intense action sequences but it's the subject matter I found to be most interesting.
Matt Damon is solid as the disillusioned soldier and the supporting cast are quite impressive who include Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan and Brendan Gleeson.
