The liberal themes don’t keep the 2007 movie "the kingdom," from being a fun action movie. The film stars jamie foxx and jennifer garner as FBI bomb experts who go to saudia arabia (the "kingdom" of the title) to investigate the terrorist bombing of an american base there that left one of their co-workers and friends dead. It is a cop buddy movie in which an american cop (jamie foxx) is teamed w a saudi cop. at first they don't get along and as they run down leads, they come to respect and even like each other. the action sequences are excellent. Nitpick: jennifer garner is far too beautiful for her role. her beauty is distracting (to males anyway); and it's not plausible that the FBI would okay sending their most drop-dead gorgeous female agent on a mission to saudi arabia of all places.
the filmmakers should've left off the epilogue, which implies a moral equivalence between the terrorists and america. L
