I went to see 'Green Zone' the other day and thought it was awesome!
The central plot hinges around Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon), who following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, is charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction, hence justifying American involvement in the campaign. However, when Miller consistently comes up empty on a series of missions, he begins to question the quality of the intelligence reports. This brings him to the attentions of veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller and Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne, both of whom harbour similar suspicions.
This is a superb film that effortless combines the high-octane action of Bourne (that comparison was inevitable!) with the machinations of a political thriller.
There are excellent turns by Jason Issacs as a dodgy, hard-as-nails Special Forces Op and Khalid Abdalla as the local informer with a conscience, Freddy.
If you liked "The Hurt Locker" or the "Bourne" series this is well worth checking out.
