Movie #57 of 2023: Green Zone
Miller: "When you peddled that shit in DC, did they know it was a lie? Or did they just never bother to ask?"
Clark Poundstone: "Okay, okay. Come on, none of this matters anymore. WMD? This doesn't matter."
Miller: [grabs Poundstone angrily and forcefully] "What the fuck you talking about? Of course it fucking matters! The reasons we go to war always matter! It's all that matters! It fucking matters!"

I went into Green Zone pretty blind but expectant of a Hurt Locker/American Sniper-style war epistle. Look! We’ve invaded Iraq (this time when we’re not supposed to) and here are some soldier stories. Maybe some fun special ops action because it’s by the director of one of the Bourne movies after all.
What I got was a film that began with a strident anti-US stance on the war in Iraq. The movie made it extremely clear that there were no WMD labs, and that though Saddam had certainly used them before in his ethnic cleansing, the chemical weapons factories that they’d claimed he’d built weren’t there, and that the Pentagon clearly didn’t care about the reality of that situation.
After this, the film began to move in an unexpected direction, turning into more of a mystery thriller than a proper anti-war piece, where Matt Damon’s character, an officer on a WMD disposal team, must find the identity of an informant that the CIA, the DOD and a semi-unnamed black ops hit squad are all after for one reason or another. Things get messy and it turns into a police corruption film set in the desert. The film ends on a bit of a weird note for me, but I feel that’s more as a tonal twist that threw me than a failing of the movie to wrap things up in the end.
The ending itself, for as trite feeling as “emailing a bunch of news people the truth” is, did a surprisingly good job at encapsulating everything that went wrong in Iraq. State dept. vs DoD political infighting messed up a smooth transfer of power from Saddam to the existent governmental infrastructure (disbanding the entire army and rendering everyone in it jobless during a period of economic upheaval is a GREAT idea) while Iraqi inner strife prevented a quick and easy deployment of a ground-up government. All this was made harder by the fact that the administration had shut out all the people that understood the culture and how things worked in the place before we started toppling statues.
On a bit of an IMDB Dive, I found that the screenwriter the Green Zone also wrote LA Confidential, and the mystery/thriller/conspiracy portion of the film started to make sense. Green zone isn’t an anti-war American Sniper, it’s a The Third Man set in Baghdad. If you’re going to watch it, approach from this angle and it’ll be more satisfying for you.

I love seeing Danny Phantom showing up and being like ‘don’t ask too many questions but John Constantine I own your soul. All of it. Lmao sucks to suck bitch’, and he’s usually all Ghost King Full Regalia as he does it, at least in front of the Justice League, but consider—
He just shows up as Danny Fenton.
“yeah I got bored and collected the pieces like Pokémon. Gotta catch ‘em all” says the 5’2 teen who looks like a stiff breeze could trip him. He denies being a sorcerer, or a magician, concedes he’s maybe psychic but mostly he’s just…. The kid of two mad scientists—who have a basement lab where they opened a portal to what he SAYS is not hell but no one is frankly CONVINCED, by the way—and he hasn’t decided what to do with Constantine yet besides getting Danny into some r rated horror movies, but figures he should tell the dude probably.
“What’d you even trade for some of his soul contracts?”
“Don’t worry about it”
They worry about it
