I'm a huge fan of the Bourne movies so I thought I'd like this movie by association - same director and lead actor. Nope, I was wrong. Matt Damon plays an Army Chief in Baghdad carrying out orders to find WMD. Amidst the Delta Force-like bang-bang-shoot-em-up scenes, Matt's character comes to realize the intelligence is crap and how the US gov't is fully of aware of the crappiness yet they continue to base the whole war in Iraq on the need to find these WMD. So, like the good guy he is, Matt's character leaks the truth to the media and goes about his business as a soldier in Iraq. True to life and all that soap-boxy liberal good stuff. But, not that original or interesting to watch. Sad, but true. Rating - If you want to have some noise on in the background while you're on the phone, turn this movie on.
