The Kingdom (Full Screen Edition) description Set 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 |

| I was buying DVD's at a store with a sale whee you buy three and was looking for the third movie when I picked up "The Kingdom." The look of the cover with Jamie Foxx made me believe it was going to be a good movie, I was wrong, it was a GREAT movie! The man has talent, and I was amazed I hadn't heard any hype about how good this movie actually is. why is that? why the secrecy? The movie is total entertainment. Right away you see a realistic scene that makes you realize what its like to be there when this kind of crazy stuff actually becomes reality, and in these countries it surely is happening, even we know first hand after 9 11. But the way they play it the movie is so totally believeable, no suspension of your brain's sense of reality, no hokey situations that just happen to happen so the story can move forward, none of that stuff you get turned off by, just a realistic situation that causes the FBI agents to be in the right place to be thrust into the center of the whirlpool! then, once the heat hits the fan. then it just gets better, really was exciting. I was really thrilled when a certain person really came through, not telling you so as not to ruin it but you'll see. If you like an action thriller that is different, meaning not the same ole same ole, then this is a must see! a new type movie where the action is Americans thrust into the terrorist's own backyard, and realistic alll the way. well made, well written, well acted, totally well acted, loved them all. and any movie that makes you hit the pause just so you can stop to jump up and shout for that certain person who really kicks [...],,, and it isnt Foxx, but you will like it! that person's acting is so believable you can feel exactly what it would actually be like if you were there having to do what they are doing and you can almost imagine what your own blood would feel like as it races through your veins with a huge dose of adrenaline! So intense! definitely buy this movie, if you dont agree with me, I'll buy it back from you, kidding, but you won't be dissappointed! I GuaranDangTee it! | |
