This is gonna piss off a lot of people.....that movie was inspired by a book that is mostly fiction. I lived in the IZ (Green Zone) for 4 years and that Emerald City book made me want to puke. I was present for many of those incidents as the author claims he was...but he wasn’t unless he has the ability to sneak out of a cordoned area better than my own PSD’s. That book was a lie.
I love the hell out of Matt Daemon movies but this is going to piss off a lot of people. He portrays a soldier....but there were hardly any soldiers in the IZ. Contractors ruled the place. Soldiers halted for OUR movements. We did not follow their orders because our authority was higher...US State Department.
