Green Zone – pretty feeble

What can I say about this movie. It’s not bad, I guess. Its story is just so simplistic and uninspired, and the action is pretty ho-hum also.The preview was edited to make it look like Jason Bourne light, but really it’s all pretty boring. Matt Damon is pretty good doing his Matt Damon thing; everyone one else is pretty ify.

Then there is the dialog: “Alpha company move in! Bravo company stay put!” “I’ve got them! Two hostiles moving north, one friendly in pursuit.” “Does it make sense to you that we keep coming up empty? No.” And of course there are ten zillion scenes of guys with automatic rifles kicking in people’s doors, pointing their guns at them and screaming “GET THE FUCK DOWN! GET THE FUCK DOWN!”

I honestly ask you: how much of this shit can you listen to before your brain starts to glaze over?

(And why does every CIA guy in movies now have to be some fat, disheveled slob who doesn’t bathe himself?)

There’s a lot worse films out there, I suppose, but that does not change the fact that on the whole this film is really pretty feeble.
