The Kingdom [2007] (DVD) Reviews

I watched this film at the weekend and had absolutely no idea what it was actually about so it was a little surprise. When I watched it after five minutes I really didn't think I would enjoy as to be honest with you, I was disturbed a little bit by it.

A Foxx Among The Sheep ==================== The Kingdom stars Jamie Foxx as leader of a team of FBI agents who has one of his agents killed in a surprise suicide attack on an American company based in Saudi Arabia (hence The Kingdom). After pulling some strings he gets his team over to the site and along with some ...

The worst thing a dumb big budget action movie like 'The kingdom' can do is to try and take itself seriously. Adding a political message to an already feeble and patronizing narrative is never a good idea and the story can quickly get blown apart by the preposterous explosions and jive talking, chest-bumping Hollywood egos on offer, as is the case ...
