Movie Haiku:For ~ 90 minutes, Damon (playing an Army CWO) searches for WMD in post-invasion Iraq with great sincerity, becoming increasibly skeptical of "solid" intelligence reports. Finally he gives up & goes rogue,at which point a tense, engrossing film degenerates into a shallow, conspiratorial chase-a-thon. Too bad!
