- 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, Poundstone. 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 Poundstone is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, who lets slip to Miller that Poundstone 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?
- Discovering covert and faulty intelligence causes a U.S. Army officer to go rogue as he hunts for Weapons of Mass Destruction in an unstable region.
- Green Zone<br/><br/>The Green Zone is the third collaboration of actor Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass. The Bourne Supremacy and the Bourne Ultimatum proved to be a winning combination for the two and are two of my favorite movies. If you have seen any advertisement for this movie you will know they are promoting it almost as another Bourne movie. It was a good idea because it got me to go see it, but don't kid yourself this is nowhere near as good as those movies. I was very disappointed in how unexciting the movie was and the obvious liberal political message.<br/><br/>The movie takes place in the early aftermath of the Iraq invasion. Matt Damon stars as officer Miller whose job is to lead a team of soldiers into targeted buildings that is believed to have WMD's. He is disappointed time and time again that they can't find any and is starting to question the Intel that is given to them. Greg Kinnear plays Clark Poundstone, who works for the Pentagon and seems to be in charge of operations in Iraq. Brendan Gleeson plays CIA agent Martin Brown who is the expert on Iraq relations. Mr. Poundstone and agent Brown butt heads over and over in the movie on choosing the leader of the new regime in Iraq. Poundstone believes in putting their own choice in as President to act as a puppet of the United States. Brown believes that the people should vote in their own president. This decision can have drastic effects on the future of Iraq and our relations with that country. <br/><br/>Miller soon is on the hunt of a major former General of Sadam Hussein. He believes by catching this General he can find out the truth about whether or not there really is WMD's in Iraq. With the help of agent Brown and a reporter played by Amy Ryan he uncovers where to find the General. To catch the General he will have to disobey orders from Poundstone and go rogue. So he is on a race to find the General before Poundstone does or he will never find the out the truth. <br/><br/>Like I said before this movie was nowhere near as thrilling as watching Damon and Greengrass's other films. The first half isn't too bad as we are being introduced to all the characters and are setting up the premise. I found the second half to be very boring as it's mostly spent on Miller running around all over Baghdad talking to different characters. Most of the action is at the beginning and ending of the movie but none of it was that exciting to watch. Mostly due to the jerky camera work, quick editing, and dark cinematography that makes it hard for the viewer to understand what's going on. Whatever worked in the Bourne movies did not work here. The movie has a great cast but it seems like they are all phoning it in and don't have a lot to work with. It's just the same performances that we have seen in other movies, especially for Damon, which just came out blah on the screen. <br/><br/>Lastly I have to mention the blatant liberal politics on the movie. It's obvious that the writer of the movie didn't believe that there were any WMD's in Iraq and that the Pentagon/U.S/Bush lied about it in order to invade. This is a fictional movie that seeks to give an explanation on the writer's bias belief on the war in Iraq. When finding a solution most people seek to find evidence first to prove their point. This movie instead decides on what the solution is and makes up evidence to prove what they want to be true. Skip this movie and rent the Bourne Trilogy or any season of 24. <br/><br/>Grade: D<br/><br/>Rated R: Some uses of strong language like the F-word, and non-graphic violence.
- Paul Greengrass, best known as the Academy Award-nominated director of "United 93," now delves into the intrigue and deception that made the second Iraq War so difficult for many to accept.<br/><br/>Using as his spokesman Matt Damon, no wallflower when it comes to the his anti-George Bush and anti-Conservative declarations, Greengrass makes his point (and his sympathies) quite clear. And let's face it, "Green Zone," while being marketed as a war/action/adventure flick, is really nothing of the kind.<br/><br/>Yes, there are a few battle scenes, but overall, this is a not-so-thinly veiled indictment of the G.W. Bush administration's decision to march into Iraq using as a pretense poor (at the very least) or made up (at the worst) intelligence data claiming the country was a hotbed for biological, bio-toxic and even nuclear "weapons of mass destruction" (WMD).<br/><br/>Since none were ever found - by reportable sources - the reason for the invasion is now called into question more than seven years after the fact. Greengrass and screenwriter Brian Helgeland (whose work runs the gamut of bad, "Cirque de Freak," "The Postman" to amazing, "L.A. Confidential," "Mystic River") pretty much uses a howitzer to bring this point home.<br/><br/>Based on the novel, "Imperial Life in the Emerald City: Inside Iraq's Green Zone", by former Baghdad Bureau Chief for the "Washington Post" and author, Rajiv Chandrasekara, there are no subtleties in this movie, just a non-stop hammering of the war policies of the former Republican administration.<br/><br/>Doesn't mean it's a necessarily bad or great film, just that its motivation is overtly political.<br/><br/>Damon is Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, leading a group of specialists into the Iraqi capital a month after the initial shock and awe has worn off and (mostly) U.S. troops have taken over much of the country. Plagued with faulty intel regarding chemical weapons sites, Miller consults with a CIA agent, Martin Brown (Brendon Gleeson, "Braveheart"), and comes to the conclusion that he (and possibly the rest of the world) is being duped.<br/><br/>Could the duper be sleazy politician and White House Iraqi liaison, Clark Poundstone (played with appropriate blood-lust and war zeal by Greg Kinnear)? Was it the administration's desire to bring democracy to the former Mesopotamia and dump the vicious dictator Saddam Hussein, or was it to finish off the struggle begun (some say deservedly so) in 1991 by Bush's father, George Herbert Walker? <br/><br/>Those queries are not addressed here. Greengrass and Helgeland have an agenda and nothing seems to divert it from its chosen course. Characters wax philosophic at times, decrying the poor tips given by an unknown source, and predicting a rise up by insurgents, but this is all revisionist thinking.<br/><br/>In April of 2003, little of the facts known now were clear to anyone. Of course, with 20/20 hindsight, we see what a colossal blunder it was. Then, however, the U.S. was seemingly flushed with victory (remember "mission accomplished"?).<br/><br/>Damon, meanwhile, discovers that a certain Iraqi Baath general, Al Rawi (Yigal Naor, who has played Saddam Hussein on several occasions), is the one person who can deny the existence of WMDs to the world. Needing to track this man down, he is assisted by translator, Freddie (Khalid Abdalla) and a nosy, formerly pro-war female reporter, Lawrie Dane (Amy Ryan, "Gone Baby Gone").<br/><br/>Going rogue, he leaves his company, takes a few men and searches the war-torn streets of Bahgdad to find Al Rawi, overcoming Iraqi killer goon squads and his own troops in the effort. It's the Bourne series meets "The Shooter" meets "All the President's Men," except one cannot tell WHAT is going on in the many night scenes.<br/><br/>Whatever a person's politics might be, there are some decent scenes here - appropriately gritty and terrifying, while Damon's acting skills are intensified as he gobbles a script that seems to suit his leftist ideological sensibilities. Unlike the recent Oscar-winning, "The Hurt Locker," though, this picture doesn't glorify the troops, in fact, it makes them seem pretty much compliant to the deception perpetrated by members of the Defense Dept.<br/><br/>Just beware, it's not the war film it is being marketed as, however. Understanding that is the key to comprehending - and possibly even appreciating - this work.
- Christopher Rouse's rapid-fire editing nervously stitches the stunts, chases, fights and confrontations together. It's a remarkable film.
- Yes, Allied forces recovered thousands aerial bombs and artillery shells filled with nerve gas of the same type used by Saddam in the Iran/Iraq war and to kill over 3000 people in the Kurdish town of Halabaja in 1988. However the manufacturing system that produced them had long since been abandoned as a result of UN sanctions, Iraqi exiles fleeing the regime telling Western intelligence agencies that they were still functioning in order to convince them to liberate Iraq from Saddam's dictatorship. In interviews before his trial Saddam stated that he obstructed UN inspectors who could verify the truth so as not to lose face and expose Iraq's military weakness to Iran, thinking that any Allied campaign would be limited to airstrikes. No, Saddam was a worldwide sponsor of terrorism supporting movements such as Islamic Jihad and others and it is know that his agents met those of Osama Bin Laden for talks but there is no evidence that he provided any actual support. In interviews prior to his trial Saddam dismissed Bin Laden as a 'zealot' who would encourage Islamic extremism in largely secular Iraq. a5c7b9f00b
