Green Zone

I'm guessing this movie is purely fiction and not based on any facts. It's just the conspiracy theory a lot of people believe concerning W's administration. It's the lefty's version of the war.

I thought the movie was pretty good and entertaining. I had never heard of it before watching it on cable. Matt Damon plays Miller, head of a military unit. He is questioning the fact that they are sent on missions to find WMD, yet always come up empty. He thinks they are getting bad intel and enlists the help of reporters. From talking to an Iraqi prisoner he helped capture, he finds out whom Magellen is. Magellen is the code name for the Iraqi source for WMD. What he finds leads to even bigger government conspiracies. So he is trying to prove what he knows before the big government guys, like Greg Kinnear, can cover it up and silence people.

I thought the last part with the chase through the city was filmed well. It made sense, was suspenseful, and I think it had the right ending. You know most of the locals did not like the Iraqi military.

FINAL VERDICT: a movie worth checking out.
