The Kingdom

This COULD have been a tremendous movie. It offered glimpses of greatness in the contrasts between "cowboy" Americans and right wing Islam extremists. The producer/director Peter Berg finally lived up to his reputation in the final 30 minutes, with a huge message at the end. Unfortunately, this all happened at least an hour and twenty minutes late. This movie had so much potential that I paused and rewound it a hundred times just to keep the logistics straight. How can you have Jennifer Garner in a movie and only give her grunts and groans for lines? 2 out of 5 (only because of the last 30 minutes). Joe

(P.S. I just read Harold's review. Looks like we agree 100% on this one!!)
