Matt Damon is the star of this action packed war drama and it is similar to the Bourne movies he's famous for. The Green Zone is a war drama with some thrilling moments added in and the Bourne movies were all drama and spy thrillers with some action added. This movie is set back in 2003 and Damon's character and his team of army officers are looking for the elusive WMS's, weapons of mass destructions in Iraq. This title is referring to the perimeter known as the former leader, Saddam Hussein's Palace, often called the Emerald City, where the government grounds were set up.
Onetime Washington Post Baghdad Bureau chief correspondent Rajiv Chandrasekaran wrote a book by the same name and the movie is based on this book. The book's author was there when the US troupes attempted to set up the temporary government on the Hussein former palace grounds. There have been many critics along the way that have noted this new government was built in somewhat of a glass castle which was so far removed from reality of the Iraq War that it could only fail in meeting the needs of the people being served in that country, something the US did not want.
This movie is a fictional account told in that time period with all its thrilling drama and set when and where the actual US-led occupation of Bagdad happened. The director, Paul Greengrass of United 93, and screenwriter Brian Helgeland used most of Chandrasekaran's accounts from his book as the starting point for their own movie story. This is a story of an officer, Damon, who joins up with a good-guy CIA agent, Brendon Gleeson of In Bruges and Beowulf, to find evidence of the weapons of mass destruction. The CIA agent is a senior member of the bureau but can only offer so much help.
Rounding out the all-star cast is Greg Kennear of the Last Song and Amy Ryan of Gone Baby Gone and the Office. Ryan portrays a foreign correspondent from the New York Times who has traveled to Iraq to dispute accusations about the weapons of mass destructions against the US. Kennear's characters is another CIA agent who desperately wants to get Damon's character out of his hair and keep spinning this situation in good light, no matter the truth.
Naturally, Ryan's character will not reveal her sources, only that his or her name is Magellan. When Damon's character find's out about Magellan, he continues his quest to locate this person for answers and help with the WMD's location. Damon's character will even confront Ryan's character in her hotel room but she stays true to her profession and will not disclose her sources.
Damon's character does not give up and keeps going even though he is being feed faulty Intel and someone is playing with covert operations. Damon's character will come up empty handed, time and time again. There seems to be so much information out there that Damon's character is not allowed to see and sometimes, when he gets close, he also gets caught in a gun battle only to fight his way out. Even people in his own unit are telling him to let it go. Damon's a good solider and determined to do the right thing for America and the people of Iraq so he carries on.
The quest for the truth has become the most valuable weapon in Damon's character's arsenal of tricks. He is kidnapped and in a fight to the finish, escapes to discover that Kinnear's character have been working against him and not with him. After this scene, there are still many unanswered questions that leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
Many questions will be answered by the end of the film, such as will Damon's character help a rouge regimen clear up their act or will the escalading violence continue to climb in such an unstable condition as to become a prelude to second movie? The Green Zone should be seen by everyone and anyone who enjoys suspense, war and intrigue in their movies. Director Greengrass is also the director of several of Damon's Bourne movies; therefore audiences will not be disappointed.
