[I]t fails in its attempt to be a serious drama with important things to say about the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

The Kingdom works as an exotic action thriller, but its politics are so choked on checks and balances it cancels itself out.

When it's got the pedal to the metal, which is a substantial fraction of the running time, The Kingdom delivers the goods.

Audience Reviews for The Kingdom

Apr 28, 2016I went into this movie not knowing what it was about or reading much on it and I found myself getting really sucked into the whole story, Many thanks to a strong cast all who were at their best, Even though it is a pretty slow film it was never boring and the last 20 minutes even though were great and fast paced it didn't fit the whole mood of the movie, Way better than I expected and if you're into modern day war action/drama this should be near the top of your list on movies to watch.Jamie C Super Reviewer

May 28, 2014From writer/director Peter Berg comes the political thriller The Kingdom. When there's a major terrorist bombing at an American base in Saudi Arabia the FBI sends in a team to investigate, but the politics of the situation threatens to erupt in more violence. Starring Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman, the film has a strong cast that delivers some good performances. And, Berg's directing does an extraordinary job at bringing tension and excitement to the scenes. The script is also well-crafted; presenting some provocative questions about terrorism, the cycle of violence, and cultural relativism. Though the politics may get a little heavy at times, The Kingdom is smart and action packed.Dann M Super Reviewer

Oct 22, 2011This movie was just average up until the last ten seconds when they played the "we're terrorists to them so they're terrorists to us" card.Joe M Super Reviewer
