...this Matt Damon thriller is certain to be politically polarizing.

It takes place early in the Iraq War where soldiers are following maps looking for WMDs but coming up with nothing.

Damon suspects something is fishy.

The plot is based on a true story, "Imperial Life in the Emerald City".

The hand held camera action gets a little heavy from time to time, particularly in the chase scenes toward the end but it is effective in creating a sense of urgency, anxiety and apprehension.

Damon is solid as usual and you get a good sense of Iraq streetlife post US bombing. The supporting cast is also very good and it was nice seeing Greg Kinear play against type.

Although films about the Iraq War have not done well with audiences, in the showing I attended, the theater was sold-out and at the end there was applause.

I'd give it a B.
