Movie Review "Green Zone"

This action thriller stars Matt Damon as a US Army Warrant Officer in search of Weapons of Mass Destruction during the early part of the latest war in Iraq. Damon is a committed patriotic soldier who is frustrated by his fruitless search for weapons. He is caught up in a web of governmental infighting and deception. The action is quick and not overly gory. The plot is semi-sophisticated. The higher levels of military and Executive branch of the US government are portrayed as merciless and deceitful. The only honorable characters are Damon, some of the Baathist leaders and those within the intelligence community who are trying to thwart his weapons search.
