Green Zone (2010) is a nice Matt
Damon thriller. Damon plays an Army NCO whose team is searching for weapons of
mass destruction after 2003 invasion of Iraq. He discovers that the
intelligence reports are completely made up by a Bush administration
synchophant. It's an adrenaline fest. Stunningly good performance by Khalid
Abdalla as the Iraqi civilian who brings the McGuffin to Damon's attention and
comes along for the action as the not-completely-willing translator. Partially
based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran's excellent non-fiction book Imperial Life in
the Emerald City: Life Inside Iraq's Green Zone.
