I saw The Kingdom in the theater and am reviewing it here to try to save folks some money. One of these days a good, thoughtful movie will be made about the so-called war on terror. This ain't it. It's more like an episode of "CSI Riyadh". The only actor who registers is Ashraf Barhoum; his American co-stars are uniformly mediocre. Granted, they are working from a hackneyed script which requires them to play stereotypical profane, arrogant Americans in a foreign land. The plot is only tenuously rooted in reality; at one point, the FBI forensics team suddenly morphs into a group of Special Forces-type stone killers. Poor Jennifer Garner looks like she doesn't know what she's doing in this movie. Her one expression is a pouty face.
