I know I'm in a minority of those (one or two) who thought Hurt Locker sucked liked a turbocharged Dyson.
Green Zone is what Hurt Locker coulda, shoulda been - fast, exciting, intense and insightful.
The film tells us what we already know - "intelligence" that stated Weapons of Mass Destruction were hidden in Iraq was fabricated in order to justify the invasion of Iraq by the US and its allies.
The story imagines how close Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) came to bringing in the alleged source of that faked intelligence, and exposing the invasion for the sham it was.
Aside from the non-stop hand-held camera judder, the film was very watchable; not quite up to Bourne standards, but definitely worth seeing, and definitely definitely better than Hurt Locker.
