Green Zone (2010)
6/10
A bit silly, but well made.
15 February 2011
Damon plays Roy Miller, Chief officer of a small unit based in Iraq assigned to search out locations which supposedly contain Weapons of Mass Destruction. The sites they search all turn up empty which leads Miller on a goose chase trying to uncover the truth about the source of the intel that pinpoints to those locations. 'Green Zone' is basically one long extended scene shot entirely in hand-held, hopefully not causing you to throw up half way through the film due to motion sickness. The plot is somewhat nonsensical, but if you can see past the obvious silliness, it could be a very suspenseful ride. The action scenes are well constructed and a lot of the film's budget clearly went into recreating the post invasion mayhem in Baghdad. It does so very convincingly.

68/100
