Synopsis: During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one bobby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission. Spun by operatives with intersection agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.
Starring: Matt Damon, Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear, Antoni Corone, Nicoye Banks

I should start saying that if you're a fan of the Jason Bourne franchise and you're expecting it to be another "Bourne" kind of film, you will be disappointed.
I'm not saying that it is not a good film, because it is! But it's not the kind of film played by Matt Daemon and directed by Paul Greengrass. You might as why? For me, the Jason Bourne franchise was focused on the character, the secret agent who lost his mind and tried to recover his life and memories. Green Zone is more about the content and context. A pretty good action movie with a strong political and ethical content about the war in Iraq.
The film is about Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller, a loyal officer focused on accomplishing the missions assigned to his team. He's in charge of finding and inspecting the sites that are supposed to have (hidden) weapons of mass destruction. Miller finds strange that all the sites taken are empty. During a planning meeting, he tries to confirm the information provided by the intelligence sources regarding these sites with weapons of mass destruction. Soon, he'll find that there's something wrong either with the source or the truth involved with the missions assigned.
After following the lead of a piece of information given by a local, Miller and his team will find one of Saddam's top men. They captured one of this man's assistant, but an elite team will take this man out of his command and control. While he tries to find answers about all this situation, he contacts Martin Brown, a CIA leader related with some of the intelligence jobs in the Middle East. they will work together to get access to the people captured and get the information needed to contact Al Rawi.
Miller will find that Al Rawi had contact with the American intelligence before the beginning of the war and provided information about the real program of WMD held by Saddam Hussein.
As said, it is an action film with a strong political and ethical content related with the reasons that pushed the U.S. and the U.K. (among other few countries) to invade Iraq and take Saddam out of the power.
As said before, if you're a Matt Daemon & Paul Greengrass' fan, you must watch the film. Don't expect it to be a "Jason Bourne" kind of film, but you won't be disappointed at all, since you'll get as much and good action as you got in that amazing franchise. Totally recommended!
