An
FBI investigative team is sent to Saudi Arabia following a terrorist attack
that killed many civilians and an FBI legal attaché.
The
Kingdom should have been so much better, especially considering the cast
involved. Many big names on the marquee here, and the filmmakers should have
made better use of all the talent on hand. There was such star power, but so
poorly used. The story dragged on slowly and painfully at first, really making
it tough to continue. Eventually, business finally picked up and, after some
well-done fast-paced action and some compelling storytelling, the movie ended
on a high note.
The
closing of the movie stuck with me; it is a great way of showing that we have
not seen the last of these horrible terrorist attacks. Mentalities do not
change rapidly, if at all, and that on both sides of the equation. After all,
it takes two to tango.
