Iamwhoi M Nov 30 This movie is a decent, gripping, FICTIONAL war movie. People trying to profess that it is a factual representation of what happened, should read CWO Monty Gonzalez's thoughts on the matter, as he worked with the project; and the Matt Damon character was "based on him and the men he fought with. FICTION. That is what my review is based on.

Matt Damon and Brendan Gleeson are fantastic. Paul Greengrass' direction is all over the place. There's shaky camerawork, choppy editing, opaque writing, and too many side characters that add nothing. It's a real mixed bag.

Also a nauseating amount of shaky camerawork See more Stoner J @Stoner Jun 26 Underrated sort of was thriller. It’s really about a lone soldier coming across a conspiracy which he goes against to save lives. Which is done a lot. This movie deserves more credit for not being your typical Iraq was film See more Jun 5 Boring movie. Not worth to watch... See more Gabriel S Apr 19 I unknowingly rewatched Green Zone yesterday, 18 April 2025, and remembered why it didn’t leave a lasting impression on my memories. Green Zone is cool as a time-passer, but it is dry when you dig deeper at the message it tried to convey. The story follows the naivest Chief-Warrant-Officer-in-command ever, Chief Roy Miller, who is trying to save lives. Well, his external purpose is actually to find some weapons of mass destruction that justifies the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, but he full in on this to save some lives and be a hero. The story works out ok, but it misses the point completely. For almost 2h of run-ning time, you will see the ever-so shifting deviation the story goes through from a mys-tery, conspiracy driven thriller to just plain action. The conspiracy scheme is so in-the-face that makes the whole premise just funny, it is baffling how Miller is the only one taking so long to realize and, well, the only one that seems to care enough. Maybe Director Paul Greengrass wanted to show how soldiers just execute with-out questioning, but his intentions stay hidden. The standoff between Miller and Briggs is basically a stalemate, the conspiracy within the operation is shallow, and the overall Jack of Claus plotline is dull and weak, so no final messages stand out off of this story other than, yes, US Ops are shady; maybe in 2010 this was a shocker, but nowadays this is common sense. Then there is Matt Damon and his babyface and he is just not fit to be a soldier. I prefer him as a CIA Secret Agent, laying low and playing smart, rather than a tough-balls Operative running a team. Overall, Green Zone entertains the braindead. It has cool visuals, Matt does an al-righty acting job, and the setting on Iraq is what you like to see in war movies. The film just lacks depth and purpose, for all it is worth, I feel Green Zone gets the average rating. See more Read all reviews
