This movie tells the story of an American soldier who starts to question the intelligence used in the infiltration of WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) sites in Iraq that suspiciously turn out to be nothing more than abandoned warehouses and so begins his investigation as to the source of the intelligence despite pressure from above not to do so.
Don’t let the fact that it’s directed by the same director of The Bourne Ultimatum fool you into believing that it’s just a carbon copy Bourne-esque action flick. Far from it. The political, social, and cultural tension shines through in the film’s engaging dialog and brilliant camera work. As such, you need to pay attention to each character’s motives, and despite the movie’s heavy usage of dialog, Green Zone rewards you with a thrilling ending that definitely should not be missed.
Overall, this isn’t a typical action movie where an explosion occurs every five minutes and, honestly, it’s somewhat refreshing. It’ll keep you thinking, questioning, and leave you with a satisfying sense of completion. My only regret is that I didn’t see this movie at the cinema because some scenes are incredibly cinematic and would have looked awesome on the big screen. If you happen to see a copy at your local video store, give it a chance.
