The story of the Iraq War is fascinating, but the checklist of talking points is not.

It's like Inglourious Basterds but without the fun.

This is a frenetic and powerful action flick that brings the fight to you.

Distills -- not simplifies -- the clashing forces that dashed our chance of peace. Greengrass is economical in his scenes; the film bolts forward like a greyhound chasing a lure.

"Green Zone" simply offers up a fun, entertaining ride that has you on the edge of your seat throughout most of the film. If you are into the politics though, you may just find it a little more interesting.

Reduces policies that caused the deaths of thousands to the equivalent of a first-person-shooter video game.

It's one thing for the filmmakers to (sort of) fictionalize real people, but Green Zone wraps up with a wish-fulfillment fantasy that is about as believable as watching reinforcements riding in to save Custer.

Greengrass concocts a formula with a fighting chance of dispelling the Curse of the Hollywood Iraq Movie. If a picture as conventionally accessible as Green Zone tanks, that campaign is surely lost.

Green Zone hits hard and doesn't forgive. It plays out like fiction, and in some ways it is. But in too many ways, it's not.

Green Zone is the rare miss from frequent collaborators Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass.
