The Kingdom

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I saw this one in Minneapolis at Erica’s home. We both enjoyed this 2007 Peter Berg-directed look at anti-American terrorism in Saudi Arabia and the follow-up to car bombings at an American complex. Starring Jamie Foxx as an American FBI guy who, along with Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, and Jason Bateman go off to SA to find the people who committed these acts. Amazing work by Ashraf Barhom as the Saudi police colonel. An exciting and interesting film that ends without much hope. It is, in that sense, a crime flick and a political flick. The crime/action flick works better than the political. Lots of handheld camera work.
