Product Description
DAMON STARS AS ROY MILLER, A ROGUE U.S. ARMY OFFICER WHO MUST HUNT THROUGH COVERT AND FAULTY INTELLIGENCE HIDDEN ON FOREIGN SOIL BEFORE WAR ESCALATES IN AN UNSTABLE REGION.

Amazon.com
Matt Damon reteams with his Bourne Supremacy director to create a thriller grounded in contemporary politics: the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) travels across war-torn Iraq, pursuing the intelligence he's been given, but every site indicated comes up empty of WMDs. Investigating the source of the intelligence, he finds himself caught between CIA agent Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson, 28 Days Later) and politician Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear, Little Miss Sunshine) over the identity of "Magellan," the supposed source. As Miller tracks down an Iraqi general, he ends up further and further afield, facing danger from all sides. It's hard to say which is the greater accomplishment--that Green Zone manages to turn a still-volatile political issue into a propulsive action movie, or that it manages to depict Iraqi people as individuals with a wide range of responses to what's happened to their country. Damon's performance is low-key but effective as Miller tries to maintain some semblance of moral clarity in a circumstance that muddies everything. Also featuring Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) as a compromised journalist and Khalid Abdalla (The Kite Runner) as an Iraqi civilian who gets dragged into far more than he expected. --Bret Fetzer

1 out of 5 stars Bad Blu ray quality   September 4, 2010
Serg (US)
Movie quality is sucks. All Dark scenes look like an old movie with sand storm through screen like it was filmed by cheapest digital camera. And that supposed to be a blu ray.
As for movie itself - 2 stars, and Matt does not look same tough as Bourne series.
I personally fill like I through away money.


2 out of 5 stars What is the point?   September 2, 2010
Kenny (Maryland)
The story is fictional. The whole reason we went to the war is due to a single faulty intel from a fictional character named Magellan? Give me a break. The movie is nothing more than a liberal's attempt to attack on Bush Administration and it turned out weak. They would make their case stronger if it was based on actual historial events.

Iraq would have avoided the war if they allowed UN inspectors to come in and VERIFY there is no WMD like they claimed. Makes you think who is stupider, Bush Administration or Saddam Regime?


5 out of 5 stars Main Priority: to entertain. Anything beyond that is up to you.   September 1, 2010
Annihilatrix1138 (CA, United States)
I went into this film with reservations, mostly on account of the average box office pull it made during its run, coupled with the many harsh reviews it received afterward (many of them coming to rest right here on Amazon). But I was set on watching this because it's Paul Greengrass. I've only seen a handful of his films, but if he's nothing else, he's honest about what he's doing. And honesty is all I saw while I was watching this film.

In many ways, GREEN ZONE could be seen as a quasi-bookend to Greengrass' highly-underrated United 93 (Widescreen Edition), though we're obviously dealing with a more fictionalized account in this instance. Our invasion of Iraq was, essentially, the epilogue to what happened on 9/11, during a time when we weren't simply focused on the ones who pulled the trigger, but anyone else who might have the distinct possibility. And that's where GREEN ZONE begins, during the opening moments of the invasion. It's shot in such a way that you could almost watch the two films together and not notice the transition. Cause and effect.

For me, UNITED 93 is a very important film. I've watched it several times, and for this movie to begin like it did was emotionally jarring.

But! Then we're off to the races with Matt Damon's character, Roy Miller: to see who can find the most WMDs. And it turns out there aren't any, but it's not like we couldn't see that plot twist coming. The action ramps up very quickly afterward, and pauses only so that you can wrap your mind around what's going on, then you're right back in the middle of it.

The thing is: you can enjoy this movie as a pure thriller. I guarantee that if you go into GREEN ZONE thinking that all you'll be getting is a couple hours of good, intense action, then you've already found it. But the movie's secondary objective is to ask a question that I'm sure many Americans have asked in the years following the invasion.

If the entire reason we went in there became a MacGuffin, then why were we there in the first place? The plot is fictional. The characters are fictional. But by the end of the movie, it ends up trying to hit you closer to home than you might have expected. Because regardless of what you believe, left or right, we paid for something in this war that we never ended up getting. And to that point, I was left just as disoriented as the main character.

But that's beside the point. Did I mention there's some great action? =D


3 out of 5 stars No WMDs, No Action Either   August 29, 2010
Jocko (CA United States)
Another of Jocko's Short But Sweet Reviews:

This thriller gave some good insight on the workings of the American government (CIA, Military, Government) but I was really expecting a summer popcorn movie.

Good beginning, only to falter 1/2 hour into it.....

Was hoping for a Jason Bourne Goes-to-War flick, but instead got a Jason Boring.....yawn.

Show me the WMDs! At least make some up! Oh, I guess they did.... "wink"


2 out of 5 stars Matt Damon's riveting acting + Confusing style of hand-held camera filming + Historical fact of WMD   August 28, 2010
Cestmoi
First of all, I agree with this movie on one point. That is NO weapon of mass destruction found in Iraq. History has proved that's an un-deniable fact.

Secondly, Matt Damon's acting is truly riveting. It's the only reason that kept me watching this film till the end.

Thirdly, all other aspects of this picture are disappointing. For example, the hand-held camera style of filming made it very hard to see what's happening.

Because of all the reasons above, I gave it 2 stars.

Rottentomatoes website shows it made 33.1 millions at the US box office.
