The Kingdom Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

The Kingdom

A very accurate depiction of the enemy we currenty face today in the west. Though most of you prefer to watch films which make us in the west the bad guys and depicts suicide bombers as 'freedom fighters' (Fahrenheit 9/11 maybe?), I prefer to watch films where we kick the asses of those who think they can come into our cities and blow themselves up for their superstitious beliefs. This is exactly what this film is, Jamie Foxx especially embraces his role as a Jihadi hunter. The film still touches upon the subjugation of women in the Arab world and makes a good attempt at helping us to understand the mind of the suicide bomber. Overall very enjoyable action flick with a bit of extra effort involved.

Customer Review

Yes another film about those Arab bad guys getting taught a lesson by the American good guys that save the day and of course become heroes...(yawn!)

This time 4 Americans go into Saudi Arabia and kill 100's of Arabs and go home heroes without barely a scratch...(that is basically the storyline)

Oh and also there is the Islamophobia which every good Hollywood film depicting Muslims must have.

There is a scene where one of the Americans is reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to The Koran" and turns to the other and asks them to guess how many virgins you get when you go to paradise?! Well considering I have this book in my own collection I thought I would see for myself if there is any mention of this but guess what...there isn't! It is something that is not even mentioned in the Muslim holy book The Qur'an but is a favoruite subject brought up by those who like to attack Islam.

There is a scene where an American civilian runs out of his house shouting at Arab soldiers about their Prophet and the God they worship trying to make out that any violence is because of their Islamic religion. Yet another favourite subject brought up by those who like to attack Islam.

If you are a patriotic American under the illusion that the world is a better place because of your invasions and foreign policy then this is the film for you. To everyone else all I can say is...open your mind and don't be influenced by this Islamophobic garbage the media portrays of Arabs and Muslims!
