Darcy J Very weak, tried to reinvent the legendary Bourne formula but failed miserably. Also a nauseating amount of shaky camerawork Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Stoner J 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 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Boring movie. Not worth to watch... Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Gabriel S 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review 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.
