The Kingdom

This potent thriller set in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia works despite its flaws. A group of FBI agents are sent to the Kingdom to help catch the terrorists responsible for a violent attack on American civilians. Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner and Justin Bateman play the agents trying to make sense of situation in a strange country but are helped immensely by Ashraf Barhom and Ali Suliman as the local officers. The film opens with very informative opening credits that sets up the setting of the film which is also the most exciting thing in this film. The plot is too simplistic to be credible and the talented cast can't overcome the restrictions of the script. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
