The Kingdom

If you enjoy action movie, this movie is your sort.
If you always concern of the endless wars in lotsa hostile countries, you will be interested in this movie.
If you are curious what is the thinking of the citizen living in chaos, and even the secret power behind which force some people to risk their life for something they believe are worthy, I guess this movie can give you some idea as well.

Jamie Foxx, one of the current best actors in Hollywood, is the main attraction for me initially for this movie, but then I knew I will like it after a few scenes in the beginning of the story - it tells you the story in middle east, the disputable role of US in this place, the different thinking and story of Saudi Arabian, and of course, the force which makes both US army and t*rrorist to fight for the justice they believe. Most importantly, this movie is sitting on the fence thoroughly, no particular stand in either party, no religion discrimination and no US ego which I never buy it.

I can't help shedding my tears in the last scene, when the Arabian officer, Colonel Faris sacrificing his life for the faith he believes - peace. Colonel Faris is my favourite character in this film, because he believes in peace, regardless of anything. He is a warm-hearted mankind who disagree in simply taking people life, which is so contradict with those cruel "masked warloads" who are willing to risk others life for their own benefit.

"What did you tell her that day?"
One of the FBI agents asked Officer Ronald what did he tell Officer Janet to comfort her of losing their teammate in a well-planned attack.

"What did grandfather tell you when he was dying?"
The daughter of the General Al Abdulmalik asked her lil girl after their compound demolished by FBI and her father died.

"We will kill everyone of them."
The same answer of both of them. The endless war.
