Green Zone

Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller is done following orders

Not exactly 'Bourne Goes to Iraq.' Damon plays a US soldier tasked with finding the alleged Weapons of Mass Destruction hidden in Iraq. Using supplied intelligence information, he visits one site after the other, coming up empty handed every time. He eventually gets fed up with this, and suspecting all is not kosher, goes rogue and tries to track down an Iraqi general for answers. This puts him at odds with his superiors and set the scene for the action.

Chicago Sunday TimesRoger Ebert This is one hell of a thriller.

eye Weekly (Canada)Adam Nayman At best, Green Zone is middling moviemaking that labours towards a simplistic confirmation of its target audience’s skepticism; at worst, it’s an opportunistic attempt to cash in on a post-Hurt Locker box office zeitgeist.

ScreenIt (USA)C. Fuchs Nothing more than a decent action pic with an ending that's never in doubt

RottenTomatoes.comTomatometer Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass return to the propulsive action and visceral editing of the Bourne films -- but a cliched script and stock characters keep those methods from being as effective this time around.
