Markus L The camera quality was kinda bad at times, but Green Zone was better than expected Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Kyle M Lastly lingers in the Iraq War narrative, topically expressed under suitable direction and weighted morality that questions governmental tactics through instinctually thought-provoking thrills, whilst authentically shrouded around convoluting intelligence. This militaria action flick is sold over the “Bourne” collaboration effectively transferred onto different terrains under broader equivalency and more politically edged amidst constant closure. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Average P Strange that this didn't do better with critics and at the box office. I'd rate it as one of Paul Greengrass's very best movies. Maybe it was too close to the truth about America's intervention in Iraq and, as we all know, we cant handle the truth. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review Sean S Mr. Damon does his best to capture the magic he created with director Mr. Greengrass but the two can't make the magic they did for the Borne movies. Still a worth watching war movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Red B This has a lot of commentary potential that never really comes to full fruition for a couple reasons. Editing and pacing aren't bad and everything else is pretty solid overall. First off Damon is solid but the issue is he never really has any true supporting cast to work off of in this as a sidekick for banter. It's always a rotating door of supporting characters who for the most part are well acted and memorable but don't have much depth and aren' around long. The "Villian" also is just ok and isn't actually on screen much and when he is he isn't that intimidating. Really the main issue is thereis too many different forces at work in this story. There is the WSJ reporter who wants the truth, Damon who is the honest soldier who wants to do the right thing, the Iraqis who are played for fools, Gleeson's organization who wants to uncover the truth, Issac's team who wants to cover up the truth, and the U.S. Government who wants to cover it up. That's 6 sides and most of them don't show up until midway and thats when this film doesn't become boring really or unfocused but rather bloated and any tension the first half developed dissappears because of the constant jumping around to different sides. The ending is solid and very well shot. In fact all the action scenes are really well done with Greengrass's trademarks. The music kind of dissappears in the first half at certain points and gets drowned out by action and I swear is at a low volume than later on also. This really just needed to slim down on fitting so many sides to this story and giving Damon more supporting casts to work with along with a more memorable villian. It's sad because this is ALMOST good. Anyone though who is a fna of any actors in this or the director will be able to enjoy all this. Especially Greengrass fans because his style is all over this and done very well in that regard. I understand this is a very weighted and multi faceted subject but it did need to be slimmed down and more focused telling it in a thriller/action movie like this. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Dick C It's a very good motion picture of Matt Damon...after his third of Jason Bourne, The Bourne Ultimatum, 2007...Of course due to an excellent scripts of Green Zone, 2010, by Brian Helgeland and with well done of Paul Greengrass, the director...with strong castings, such as, Brendan Gleeson as well as Greg Kinnear... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
