Iraq War veteran Jay Dorleus critiques the 2010 war movie Green Zone, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon. Dorleus points out inaccuracies in the film’s depiction of an Iraqi sniper, giving it a low rating for military realism. Despite the success of Damon and Greengrass’s previous collaborations on the Bourne series, Green Zone failed to impress both critics and audiences, leading to disappointing box office results. The film’s handling of the Iraq War and its blend of fact and fiction regarding weapons of mass destruction received mixed reviews. With a budget of $100 million and a box office revenue of only $94.9 million, Green Zone was considered a commercial failure. The film currently holds a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics criticizing its story and handling of military realism. Despite the disappointment of Green Zone, a new Bourne movie is in development with a different director attached.
