Movie Review
Grade: A-
Director Peter Berg's latest effort, The Kingdom, is a high-intensity action drama that succeeds on all levels. And by that, I mean it blows away most of the competition as being one of the year's best so far. The film, about an FBI team who goes to Saudi Arabia to find out who is behind a devastating terrorist attack, boasts a star-studded cast and gritty imagery throughout. It also marks another large cinematic jump for director Peter Berg, who shows he has improved mightily from the less-than-stellar Very Bad Things less than ten years ago.

Very enjoyable, by JC
October 3, 2007
This was an incredible movie. I along with the rest of the audience couldn't help but be thoroughly engaged by the action and philosophical curve balls that were thrown. I didn't know what to expect going into it, but I was very pleased. I'm glad that the humanity of both sides was shown; after all, everyone involved in the conflict is human, with families, personal struggles, and even virtues - however misplaced. The concluding line in the movie really makes you think about the cycle of war that is being perpetuated by each retaliatory act. To but it frankly, I VERY MUCH RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE! You will greatly enjoy it.
