Product Description DAMON STARS AS ROY MILLER, A ROGUE U.S. ARMY OFFICER WHO MUST HUNT THROUGH COVERT AND FAULTY INTELLIGENCE HIDDEN ON FOREIGN SOIL BEFORE WAR ESCALATES IN AN UNSTABLE REGION.
Amazon.com Matt Damon reteams with his Bourne Supremacy director to create a thriller grounded in contemporary politics: the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) travels across war-torn Iraq, pursuing the intelligence he's been given, but every site indicated comes up empty of WMDs. Investigating the source of the intelligence, he finds himself caught between CIA agent Martin Brown (Brendan Gleeson, 28 Days Later) and politician Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear, Little Miss Sunshine) over the identity of "Magellan," the supposed source. As Miller tracks down an Iraqi general, he ends up further and further afield, facing danger from all sides. It's hard to say which is the greater accomplishment--that Green Zone manages to turn a still-volatile political issue into a propulsive action movie, or that it manages to depict Iraqi people as individuals with a wide range of responses to what's happened to their country. Damon's performance is low-key but effective as Miller tries to maintain some semblance of moral clarity in a circumstance that muddies everything. Also featuring Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone) as a compromised journalist and Khalid Abdalla (The Kite Runner) as an Iraqi civilian who gets dragged into far more than he expected. --Bret Fetzer

The poorest service I have ever received September 6, 2010 Unsatisfied Customer 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The 2nd hand Green Zone BD I got had a broken case, email seller for replacement but seller was very slow in response, took more almost 2 weeks to get a replacement. Then after reviewing details of my purchase, I realized that it wasn't what I ordered - I ordered the 2 disc limited edition with digital copy, but received only the single disc version without digital copy. So I contact seller again, and he said mail it back for a refund .... so here I returned it again, only it is more then 2 weeks after he received my returned BD but I am still waiting for the refund. Will definitely not buy from this seller again, and not recommend other customer to purchase from this seller!

Pure Propaganda September 5, 2010 Rick Wingender (Knoxville, TN) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a former US Army Infantry Officer, I thought this film would be especially interesting, and it was. However, it confirms my opinion of liberal hollywood people: that they're simply not very smart. That's why they become actors and actresses - because 98% of them weren't smart enough to become doctors or lawyers or businessmen. Most of them never even went to college. Because of this lack of education, most hollywood types lack any real talent for critical thinking.
This whole movie was a propaganda message, trying to convince the viewer that there never were any WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq. First of all, too many people don't know what weapons qualify as a "WMD". As a US Army NBC (nuclear, biological, chemical) school graduate, I can tell you that a WMD is any weapon - nuclear, biological, or chemical - that, if delivered by the proper delivery system, can or will cause massive casualties. So, if our hollywood leftists had any knowledge or critical thinking capabilities, they would not be so cynical of the claims of WMDs made by many governments. Why? Simple...because in the 1980s Iran - Iraq war, Saddam used chemical weapons (WMDs) against the Iranians. After the first Gulf war (Desert Storm), Saddam again used chemical weapons (WMDs) against his OWN people - the Kurds in northern Iraq. There is little dispute about these events, there's too much evidence for even Saddam to deny with a straight face. So, with his history of actually using WMDs, why does Hollywood find it so hard to believe? I think it's because they don't understand that chemical weapons ARE WMDs. I don't say any of this because I want to defend the US Government; I still think most of what we did was wrong, and I friggin' hate G.W. Bush the Idiot...I'm a Libertarian, not a liberal democrat nor a conservative Republican.
As far as the movie itself, the acting was excellent all around. Damon was incredible. Kinnear was surprisingly good, though I hated his character. I just think hollywood would serve us better if they spent more energy trying to create entertainment without injecting their biased and factually incorrect ideology into everything. RW.
Bad Blu ray quality September 4, 2010 Serg (US) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Movie quality is sucks. All Dark scenes look like an old movie with sand storm through screen like it was filmed by cheapest digital camera. And that supposed to be a blu ray.
As for movie itself - 2 stars, and Matt does not look same tough as Bourne series.
I personally fill like I through away money.
What is the point? September 2, 2010 Kenny (Maryland) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The story is fictional. The whole reason we went to the war is due to a single faulty intel from a fictional character named Magellan? Give me a break. The movie is nothing more than a liberal's attempt to attack on Bush Administration and it turned out weak. They would make their case stronger if it was based on actual historial events.
Iraq would have avoided the war if they allowed UN inspectors to come in and VERIFY there is no WMD like they claimed. Makes you think who is stupider, Bush Administration or Saddam Regime?
