Review of Green Zone (2010) by Warren M — 09 Jan 2016
I find it amusing that many critics and some reviewers have chosen to use "political bias" as one of the reason for giving this film a lot score. Let's review some indisputable historical facts here.
1. The Bush administration *did* utilize outdated WMD intel or worst yet, fabricated it in order to justify the invasion of Iraq.
2. The Bush administration did decide to dissolve the Baath party and the Iraqi military, creating a massive power vacuum that was not filled adequately for years.
3. Certain elements of the US military did utilize interrogation and torture methods that would be qualify as war crimes under the Geneva convention.
It is due to these above indisputable facts that this film was successful in conveying its overall message. Sure some of the plot points were far fetched too conspiracy minded but that doesn't discredit the primary plot of the movie. Perhaps the reviewers should dig into their own "political bias" and realize that they are on the wrong side of history here.
