The Kingdom

Rating: 7.5/10
Genre: Suspense
Overall value for money and time: 7.5/10

A group of US agents are sent to Saudi Arabia for a week to investigate a terrorist bombing. This movie is similar to "Rendition" but I feel that the latter is a better movie. I've watched "The Kingdom" only 2 days back and I can't seem to remember much of it already. It's a good movie but a forgettable one. Though there's Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Gartner in this movie, the emphasis isn't on them. The most outstanding cast in this movie must go to Ashraf Barhom - an unheard of actor in the movie industry. His role is to protect and look over the US agents and his performance should be well applauded for. If you're not one who likes terrorist warlike movies, I suppose you could choose "Rendition" over this movie.
