The Kingdom
Grade: B
Political thriller with some war action, The Kingdom has an amazing cast including Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, and Jamie Fox. The FBI gets called into a US compound in Saudi Arabia to investigate an attack that has killed several Americans. War is ugly. This group is subjected to dangerous situations, and manages to get to the truth of what happened. The relationships formed give the movie heart. It was interesting to see Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman together after I just saw them as a married couple in Juno. Of course there is violence, so be prepared. |
