I haven't seen such a heated pace and visceral experience kept up for so long since Aliens maybe. The Kingdom doesn't break any ground in terms of what it goes over or really the plot which mimics several movies these days, but for anyone who likes tense, suspenseful well done action, this movie's final 20 min helps you forget about the movie's other inadequacies.
Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) leads an FBI team to investigate an attack on an American base in Saudi Arabia. The team is played by Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman.
I dont like this movie at all, and not recommend it. it is so bad and clearly sending a clear negative message about Islam and Muslims, which is ofcourse not true.
Almost didn't watch it, despite the great cast, and direction of Peter Berg. I was afraid it was going to be very rah-rah-sis-boom-bah-American.
In part, my surprise was down to some of the awful reviews lowering my expectations of this film.To those people who wrote those reviews I should like to say: "Propaganda - I do not think that word means what you think it means.
All star cast.
It's worth watching this obscene propaganda. It's clear proof that the "conspiracy theory" about Hollywood doing the bidding of US Government agencies is a matter of fact, not fiction.
Don't care about the story line, nor cast. Its okay if the producers can't afford a decent professional camera and have to use a hand held camera, but its not so okay when the producers entrust the movie to an incompetent over smart director.
I think this movie is a ploy to wash the hands of the Saudi family from involvement in acts of terror. This is the deep reason why the camera angles don't even focus on the actionnitself.
