  • Billy Bob Thornton has two modes: he can be gloriously OTT, chewing the scenery under layers of make-up, putting on his thickest molasses accent, or he can underplay so deftly it's not... read more »

    Excellent movie

    Great movie, basically a coach takes over the local highschool american football team. The poor town is obsessed with the team and it is all about the kids and the coach trying to overcome the local pressure. Really gets you involved in the characters, ending is great.

This movie is full of clichés supporting NeoConservatism, Nationalism, Paternalism, Christianism even rascism (not in a descriptive way, in an implicit way which makes it worst). Honestly, I checked twice if W. Bush was the director...sadly, he wasn't

    The Kingdom

    • 02 Oct 2007

    The US review for The Kingdom have been fascinating: of the 114 listed on Rotten Tomatoes as I write this, 58 are generally positive ('fresh') and 56 are negative ('rotten'). A lot of the highbrow press fall into the first category ( The New York Times; Village Voice; Time; Newsweek ), while many other critics have been quick to condemn the movie's supposedly reactionary, gung-ho politics. "A xenophobic, overblown, revenge-driven action thriller that exports the Rambo mentality to the Middle... Read more
