A torn-from-today's-headlines thriller set in Saudi Arabia, The Kingdom adopts a jingoistic tone that may put off politically progressive viewers, but the film will delight mainstream audiences with its explosive action and riveting suspense. When an infamous terrorist bombs an American housing compound in Riyadhâkilling and wounding hundredsâthe FBI secretly details a crack team of investigators (Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, and Jason Bateman) to gather evidence before the dust settles. Diplomatic strings are pulled, but the Americans are really aidedâreluctantlyâby a Saudi colonel (Ashraf Barhom) who would like to see justice done but resents the intrusion of these foreign meddlers. What starts out as CSI: Riyadh turns into a gripping action thriller when Bateman's character is kidnapped by terrorists and his fellow team members race to the rescue, guns blazing. Director Peter Berg and cinematographer Mauro Fiore use jumpy camerawork and jagged editing to maintain a cinéma vérité feel, and the film's last half hour is undeniably exciting as the surrounded Foxx and company try to shoot their way to freedom. The Kingdom might not be enlightening, but it sure is entertaining. Recommended. (E. Hulse) Copyright Video Librarian Reviews 2007.
