I wanted to watch Green Zone after seeing the trailer for it way-back-when. Finally got around to it last night and overall was happy with it. It was a very Bourne-in-Iraq – no surprise with Director Paul Greengrass on board. For the sake of a war movie, it was really good. The documentary-style filming added, what I think Greengrass was attempting to achieve, some level of authenticity to the film. I much preferred The Kingdom and Black Hawk Down over this though.

The story takes an obvious stance on the WMD situation in Iraq. “They lied, people died”, tagline rings a bell as a theme. Granted, I’m no fan of the reason(s) we went to war in Iraq, the overly obvious slant made it a little hard to watch at times.

I’d give it B+ in action, acting and overall experience. It wasn’t a bad movie bad any means.

What did you think of it?
