The Kingdom (2007) 6/10

Starring : Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Jason Bateman
Director : Peter Berg
Running Time : 103 mins

Following a bombing in a US compound in the Middle East, a group of specially trained FBI agents is secretly sent in to investigate and try to catch the man or men behind the bombing, but are faced with resistance from the Saudi government who wish to capture the terrorist on their own terms.

This movie was really slow, and not particularly entertaining until pretty near the end. The plot plodded along with little or no impetus, and made for some pretty dull viewing for the first hour or so. If not for the bombing scenes and the final half hour, this would have been an incredibly pointless piece of American propaganda, but give it a chance and you might find yourself liking it towards the end.
