Movie Review: ‘Green Zone’ misses the metaphor

Mar.12, 2010 in Movies, New York Times, Pets, heat

Journalist Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan, left) questions Roy Miller (Matt Damon) in “Green Zone.” The case has been made that the Bush administration railroaded America into invading Iraq by ignoring evidence, facts and logic and never considering the consequences. With “Green Zone,” filmmaker Paul Greengrass commits a similar sin with his film about that invasion and the search for phantom weapons of mass destruction. He has ignored inconvenient facts – and indeed the very book that the script (by Brian Helgeland) is based on – to conjure an entertaining if sometimes risible ticking-clock thriller about what “they” didn’t want you to know in the run-up to war.
