The Kingdom (2007)
Movie (The Kingdom) started with a small introduction on US, Saudi Arabia relationship. It begins in 1930s and now they both make a powerful ally in the Middle East, but the hurting truth is 15 out of 19 black Friday attackers are Saudi nationals.
Whenever US citizens harmed, FBI was there to investigate and bring justice to their people. Here in this movie, a terrorist attack plotted and a bomb detonated by a terrorist leader in an American compound, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. FBI special Agent Ronald Fleury quickly assembles a team and flies to Saudi to catch the man behind this bloody bomb disaster.
Once they landed in the Saudi soil, they found that Saudi authority was not so keen on assisting them. They considered it as a local matter and also they thought Americans have no role to play here. Anyway Colonel Al-Ghazi helps them to find the help of royal politics, because of him these Americans get full access to the crime scene and evidence. Rest of the story is how they tracked down the terrorist leader.
What I loved in this movie is the pace of the movie. It’s not so fast, not so slow, but I agree in some scenes it was bit slowly. There were some scenes expressing the reality specially the ending, where the mind set of Saudi boy and Americans are well described. In another scene this American agent who is a girl, popped up into an apartment with her guns and stuff. Then they show a Saudi woman, in her eyes we can see the astonishing.
Cinematography was fine and the direction was fantastic. Though it’s not an outstanding movie, it has something that can make you stick to the movie.
