First off, for someone who has little to no knowledge of middle-eastern society. This movie can give you a slight insite on this culture. The historical background was easily captured and to the point. I felt the direction was key to... Full review

Foxx, Garner and Cooper make a great team with the rest of the supporting characters in this enthralling picture. This could be considered as one of the best middle-east based films. The plot twists are ingenious and the visuals are beautiful... Full review

I'll admit, though, this wasn't mindless violent. It wasn't necessarily about showing off the explosion and blood, there was meaning behind it. Sort of. I told my boyfriend I was giving this movie an overall. B-, but he rates it a... Full review

Great film, the gun fire, explosions and general feel of the film are just so realistic, it truly feels one is there, in the situation. However, the only slight let down for me is that it was a bit too short... Full review

I probably expected too much from Jamie Foxx via Collateral and thats why I did not fully enjoy this movie. The story was good but the pace was very slow until the ending invasion. I think this story is very believable... Full review

As mentioned earlier, The Kingdom was lacking in the action department.
The Kingdom was captured in a convoluted and frantic way where at times its incomprehensible and the exoticness of its action fails.
