Movie Reviews of The Kingdom (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: War propaganda
Summary: 1 Stars
This film is goebbels-like war propaganda. Feed the hate against your enemies and kiss your flag americans.
Most of the worst bombings alover the world are executed from radicals with the support of the CIA, Mossad or other right wing parmilitary!
Bush & Co. went to war because of money & oil....The US army is simmilar
to Hitler-germany including the population! Everybody is standing behind
and shouting....sieg heil, a humm sorry "God bless America" Nobody knows
why...it's just faschist nationalism. History repeats itself. Hail Bush!
Summary of The Kingdom (Widescreen Edition)
"A High-Octane Action Movie." -A. O. Scott The New York TimesOscar? winners Jamie Foxx (Collateral) and Chris Cooper (Breach) and Golden Globe? winners Jennifer Garner (Daredevil) and Jason Bateman (Smokin' Aces) ignite the screen in this high-intensity thriller about a team of elite FBI agents sent to Saudi Arabia to solve a brutal mass murder and find a killer before he strikes again. Out of their element and under heavy fire the team must join forces with their Saudi counterparts. As these unlikely allies begin to unlock the secrets of the crime scene the team is led into a heart-stopping do-or-die confrontation.System Requirements:Runnig Time: 110 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/TERRORISM Rating: R UPC: 025195005920 Manufacturer No: 61100766Set in Saudi Arabia, The Kingdom is a political action thriller with good acting and wonderful visuals. Its so-so script, though, at times meanders aimlessly until a good explosion jolts the viewer's attention back to the screen. Jamie Foxx stars as FBI special agent Ronald Fleury, who leads an elite team into Saudi Arabia to find the terrorists who attacked American employees working in the Middle East. He has been given the unlikely deadline of five days to infiltrate the compound, with just his wit and his crew, which includes forensics expert Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), explosives guru Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper), and intelligence analyst Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman). It's unclear how helpful smarmy U.S. diplomat Damon Schmidt (Jeremy Piven) will be, but Fleury knows enough to surmise that the media-hungry Schmidt might not be completely trustworthy. Foxx and Garner have wonderful screen presence, but it's Bateman and Piven who get the best lines. Director Peter Berg peppers The Kingdom with actors he has worked with in the past. Berg, who guest-starred on Alias opposite Garner, casts Tim McGraw in a small role here. (The country singer also had a co-starring role in Berg's 2004 film Friday Night Lights.) And Kyle Chandler and Minka Kelly--two of Berg's lead actors from the Friday Night Lights television series, , make appearances in The Kingdom. The action sequences he creates are impressive and generate a sense of panic that The Kingdom producer Michael Mann (Miami Vice) undoubtedly applauds. While a tauter script would've rounded out the action nicely, the action in many cases does speak for itself. --Jae-Ha Kim
