Elevator Pitch |
A warrant officer leading a team of US soldiers looking for WMD in Baghdad, but failing to find any, becomes involved in a search under the radar, with the assistance of a CIA man in the eponymous Green Zone, and a local who knows his way round the squares and alleys of the old city. |
Content |
Loads of tension in the dark streets, with moderate violence both in the prisons and out in the city. |
A View |
I really liked this despite the glaringly obvious plot. The realistic feel of what it must have been like out there is well conveyed. But I am a fan of both the director and the star. |
