The Kingdom

[Crown Royal]

Just got back. It was excellent. Some things required a stretch of the imagination, and considering the subject, I am sure some will love it, some will hate it, and some will love to hate the inaccuracies. But the acting was superb, and I really enjoyed the message I think it portrayed. The beginning and end were great.

YES. But for me, that was just a piece of the movie. the last bit of dialogue is what really gets you.

I saw it on Saturday and hated it but not for the reasons you might think. It was simply a boring film. It wasn't an action-packed film nor was it a conspiracy/thriller with an intriguing plot. It was essentially CSI Saudia Arabia. These FBI agents are flown to Saudi Arabia to investigate a bombing. 3/4 of the film is simply gathering evidence, digging ditches, talking to Saudi diplomats and personal conversations between Jamie Foxx and the chief Saudi investigator who works with him. Most of the film is about the investigators trying to gather evidence while the Saudi government says "no." There are two big action sequences and they are great. However, those 2 sequences only comprise 1/4 of the film. There is nothing going on during most of the film. I'm not exaggerating about the CSI aspect to this movie. If you see this movie, you will agree with me. It's really slow

Apparently not, since I saw it and enjoyed it.

Obviously, I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to people who had not seen the film but read my review first. If they entered the film having read my take on it first, I think they would agree

I gave it a B+ but the message was dead on...
