I didn’t dislike this film, but I honestly couldn't figure out its intended audience. Does it seem like one of those films made later on, meant to make people feel better about things by distracting them from the fact that someone knew what was going to happen before the invasion of Iraq? Regardless, the story implies that the entire invasion was based on a complicated American plan to put in place leaders who would do their bidding. But based on what? That’s what “Miller” (Matt Damon) and his special team tasked with finding weapons of mass destruction are there to find out. What follows is fairly unremarkable, full of standard CIA spy stuff as the group repeatedly turns up empty while searching. Was information being leaked? Did those weapons simply never exist? Is something bigger going on? I have to admit, I didn’t really care about any of these questions. To make this kind of story work well, the writing and performances would need to be much more clever and subtle than they are here in this rather straightforward portrayal—not just of Allied actions in Iraq, but also of how the people living there are shown: either as simple farmers or deceitful killers. Damon seems bored, and Jason Isaacs ("Briggs") is oddly cast, while Greg Kinnear feels completely wasted as "Poundstone," the Pentagon representative responsible for overseeing the search. Then you have the somewhat irritating appearances of investigative reporter "Lawrie Dayne" (Amy Ryan), and the whole thing becomes a fairly unoriginal jumble. Sometimes the film moves quickly, but mostly it just drags on toward an ending that’s probably all this flimsy and underdeveloped script could manage to deliver.
