Se visto preparandosi ad un film d'azione in zona di guerra,
Green Zone fa anche la sua figura.
Nell'Iraq appena sconfitto dagli Americani, il comandante di un gruppo impegnato nella ricerca delle armi di distruzione di massa resta invischiato in un intrigo militare e politico che vede contrapporsi diverse sezioni dei servizi segreti, dell'esercito e dell'amministrazione; nodo del contendere, ovviamente, l'esistenza o meno di dette armi proibite.
Magari non molto realistico negli avvenimenti dei singoli protagonisti (a
Matt Damon succedono davvero un po' troppe cose un po' troppo in fretta), il film ha il suo principale pregio proprio nell'azione: ben diretta e ben eseguita, mantiene alta la tensione dall'inizio alla fine. Pecca solo lievemente nel finale, dove diventa eccessivamente convulsa.
Tutto sommato non malvagia neppure la rappresentazione dei complessi giochi di potere e delle scelte errate che porteranno alle ben note conseguenze.
Voto: 7 - non annoia.

Cast:Trama:SPOILER. REVEALS ENDING! Following the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller and his men are charged with finding the so-called weapons of mass destruction,whose existence justified American involvement,according to the Pentagon and their man in Baghdad,Poundsgate. Veteran CIA operative Marty tells Miller that there are no weapons,it is a deception to allow the Americans to take over the country and install a puppet leader. Marty correctly anticipates that,despite Bush's gung-ho assurances, the policy is doomed to failure. Also suspicious of Poundsgate is Wall Street Journal reporter Lawrie Dayne,who lets slip to Miller that Poundsgate told her he had secret talks in Jordan with an important Iraqi,code-named Magellan,who told him about the weapons, though it now seems likely Magellan's true information was to the contrary. Miller deduces that Magellan is General Al Rawi, a close supporter of the deposed Saddam Hussain and, accompanied by his interpreter, Freddy, a decent Iraqi who only wants stability for his country, sets out to track down Al Rawi. However, Poundsgate's men are also on Al Rawi's trail,to stop him from talking. After an explosive showdown Miller emails Lawrie to tell her that there never were any weapons,relying on her and other journalists to inform the world of Bush's deception.
