Green Zone is about the early war in Iraq and soldiers that were charged with looking for WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) which we know today never existed. The film seeks to uncover this story at ground level through the eyes of a soldier played by Matt Damon. The most interesting part about this film is that it is not a shoot em' up kind of movie, it is more in the region of detective even though there is action. A lot of people try to relate this to the Bourne Trilogy, but I think it is very different. For one we are dealing with a historical backdrop and the characters are realistic no fancy moves or unbelievable stunts. You will enjoy watching it especially if you think the US should have never of entered Iraq in the first place.

Alternative movie poster for "Green Zone":
Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction, whose existence justified American involvement, according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad, Poundsgate. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons, it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Also suspicious of Poundsgate is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, who lets slip to Miller that Poundsgate told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi, code-named Magellan, who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. So begins a hunt for the truth. Who's playing whom?
