Review of Green Zone

Green Zone (2010)
4/10
what a letdown, an unrealistic portrayal

Warning: Spoilers
Matt is a good Jason Bourne, but Bourne is a well-trained and experienced super spy/assassin. And here Matt plays a Chief Warrant Officer who who effortlessly intermingles with senior CIA, Senior Adm. In-country officials, major news organiztion's reporters, and he moves about Baghdad selecting his own targets and missions with hardly any communications with his military superiors. Ridiculous!

The script appears bent on selling a perception (political?) about the fact that no WMDs were found, but the dramatic license employed to do so is egregiously unbelievable. Maybe the true story is too convoluted to cram into an hour and a half, but this attempt looks weak, albeit very expensive. I was hoping to be intrigued but instead was frequently befuddled by the impractical flow of the story through the protagonist.

What a letdown.
