Green Zone 2010

I thought the Bourne Movies were done. Well that IS what I thought when I had briefly seen the trailer to Green Zone. It is actually nothing like the Bourne movies. If you are in to conspiracy and war movies this is the perfect movie for you. I liked the movie to the extent that the action was really well played out and made quite a bit of sense. Not only that the action made sense but it played out like it could be real. The actual story line was pretty predictable and plays just like any other movie in the genre.

Green Zone starts out following  US Army solider Miller (Matt Damon) who is being put on these crazy missions in search of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. The only problem with the missions is that they never turn up what they think is supposed to be there. Miller gets so fed up after 3 times of getting shitty intelligence and decides to speak his mind about the stupid intelligence. He is quickly shut up and goes about his business and on to the next site in search of the weapons. This time was different because he was given a tip by a local about some high ranking Iraqi officials meeting down the street from them. From that point all the shit hits the fan.

Now it was not exactly the acting in the movie that sucked but more that you knew what to expect with every turn. It really is just a generic conspiracy war movie that simply offers nothing new. Now do not get me wrong it was fun to watch and had some exciting parts. Is it worth my admission to the theater no. Make up your own mind and go this shit!
