Inspired by the non-fiction book Imperial Life in the Emerald City by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Oscar-winning screenwriter Brian Helgeland (LA Confidential), director Paul Greengrass (Bourne Supremacy, Bloody Sunday), and star Matt Damon (Invictus) have made an entertaining, action-packed fictional thriller that recreates the chaos that was central Iraq in 2003, just after the fall of Saddam Hussein as our troops were looking for the weapons of mass destruction that the government claimed was the reason to go to war. Damon plays a Chief Warrant Officer who becomes suspicious that the intelligence has been falsified as they fight lethal battles over empty storehouses. Brandon Gleeson is a CIA op who sees the chaos coming; Greg Kinnear is the crony who is running the show.
