Nice to finally have some critics on the Iraq war. Somewhat shallow though, but still worth it.

Don’t expect another Bourne-like movie. This movie lacks both the action and exciting energy of the Bourne trilogy. That being Said, there were some good scenes, and the acting was convincing. Overall, it was an interesting look at the War in Iraq. Green Zone was not a bad movie; just not a memorable one.

I dunno it was okay not the best Matt Damon film I have seen but certainly not the worst. The film seems to try to shed some light on the recent Iraq war and how soldiers like Roy Miller (Damon) can get caught in the cross fire or their orders and there desire to return home. The film accurately details some Iraqi extremest leaders, water & food deprived civilians, and desperate american soldiers I did not see the ending but I'm told it's good. Check it out why not?

The average camera shot was 3 seconds. Plot difficult to follow. Very unsatisfying film experience.

Matt Damon was meant to be a lone soldier. It's his calling in movies. Besides some good scenes, the movie as a whole lacked something that I just can't explain.

Looking at the other reviews, I realized I am not the only one who was bothered by that moving camera. But since it really was interesting, I would still recommend seeing it.

Yeah, it tells the truth of what the Americans have done in Iraq. Though bet scary that they are populating such truth in the media.

For anyone who is intersted with the situation in the Middle East, this is the movie to see. And Matt Damon is not hard on the eyes either!

It's always great to watch a movie with Matt Damon playing a soldier or spy. He's pretty good at this.

Good movie! Camera work was bad, super shaky the whole movie makes me feel sick. Wish it was alittle less political, watched it with my friend who doesn't care anything about the politics, she did not enjoy it at all. Though I thought it was a good story but for those who don't quite know much about the background whould not enjoy it as much.

Excellent movie. Matt Damon is certainly one of the actors whose name on a movie means it's a movie worth seeing.

Again Matt Damon gives a fine performance. Movie illustrates well what a fine mess Bush created in invading Irak on a big lie. Does the end justify the means? The negative point about this movie would be the difficulty in following the action scenes because of the way the movie cam was used.

You can never go wrong with Matt Damon, and this movie proves it again. This project is well directed and well filmed. The actors are credible and the story is very good - if not reality. The message the movie sends is right on the money, and hopefully, people will see the movie for what it is - more than an action flick. Don't miss it.

Yeah, I have to agree with some of the reviews. It was entertaining, but that's all. It was nothing special in any one department, but the sound was impressive. Writing, plot and direction were all rehashed. Nothing new here! Acting was solid. Normally when people complain about shaky-cam, it doesn't bother me but this was probably the most nauseating camera work I have seen in any movie. I kept waiting for Jason Bourne to kick some butt but they edited out all those scenes...

I liked this movie but felt it could have been better. The shacky cam was not the best idea but holding the USA accountable for going after WMD's which were clearly never there was great to see. There are still Republicans who don't believe this and fell they were still justified in their actions. Worth seeing still even with a 6 rating.

A good action flick - story line is decent but Damon's character plays a naive soldier in a mission to save the world. Favorite word: "WMD" a good movie to watch but not The best action flick on the year by any means.

Matt Damon is fantastic in this movie... The movie tell the real story how the Americans and why they want to war for nothing, just because of Bush... and his lies... Super movie would see it again. Much better then Hurt Locker by far.

Best war-politics movie i've seen in years. The director is a master in making movies realistic and in action scenes (see Bloody Sunday) everyone who criticizes the camera movements obviously has no idea what the dogma cinema is... go check it...

Matt is great in this movie. The camera man was a little tipsy though when he was filming. Lots of action and it makes one wonder about the weapons of mass destruction. When Miller didn't find them, he went searching down a risky path for more information. The acting was good.

It was an excellent movie! The story was interesting and very believable. The action was fast and seemed brutally realistic, especially the gun fights. The only downside was some of the scenes were a little dark but it was worth it to see something shot in realistic lighting conditions rather than fake soundstage action. Definitely worth seeing!

Somebody buy that man a tripod!! My eyes hurt. Otherwise, though, a gutsy film. I wonder whether it plays well on the military bases in Baghdad?

I loved it, a ton of action, very intense. Similar camera to the Bourne movies (Shaky, but realistic) I thought the plot was great, Matt Damon is outstanding. A must see.

When will the American people stop letting themselves be duped by a corrupt government. What happened to "by the people for the people"? The movie was well done... I felt... mmm... sorry for the soldiers going there for no good reason except greed.

The fast pace, which creates intensity, gets in the way of following the story about WDM, weapons of mass destruction, or the lack of them in IRAQ. That Said I wonder if any of it is true; sure comes across that way.

All I can say is "meh". Same american propaganda story as in any Hollywood movie. I was going in expecting to have about 1/2 as much fun/entertainment/enjoyment and that is what I got. There is no need to "disect" this movie and offer a critique - because there is nothing to disect. The story is predictable from start to finish. Well, maybe not the actual specifics of it - but you know that person B is bad, person A is good, person C is an awkward third lady who never gets any action from Jason Bourne (because that's really why we went to see this movie) Mat Daemon leaves us wandering if he really can't act - or he is acting like he can't act. But he is not the problem. The real problem is in this idea that america can look good in the face of it's own mistakes. I think you have to have some ballz to come up with a story, where the good guys are also the bad guys. In any case - I would not see it again. Nor would I recommend to anyone, even on DVD. But I went with a friend, and he liked it.

Great movie! Interesting point of view. Giving this movie a low score because you have motion sickness is pretty lame. The camera work made the movie so much more intense.

Terrible movie, camera man seems had no experience in filming. Every other second, move from one shot to another, seems without camera stand. It makes me so dizzy that I have to walk out after watching the movie for 15 minutes. The shots were poor, shaking all the time, never stay at a spot for longer than 10 - 15 seconds, and switch from one place to another. Not steady at all. I was so sick from watching the movie.

Not bad at all. Matt Damon is in fact, a good actor. It sure makes you think twice (sadly), about the usa (who don't seem to think twice)

This is a great movie. It might be a tad bit slow in the beginning but it sure picks up. It has a very anti-war perspective and gives you a different outlook on the 2003 Iraq invasion. It's similar to the Bourne trilogy with the same feel. It's a great movie to see if you are into politics, if not that's fine too.
