Jennifer Garner plays one of four FBI agents who cut through red tape to investigate a deadly attack on an American civilian complex in The Kingdom. She's joined by Jamie Foxx whose character leads the unit, and an explosives expert played by Chris Cooper. Jason Bateman rounds out the team.
Peter Berg's picture is an entertaining action movie prefaced with educational opening credits about the history of Saudi Arabia. It thankfully avoids the blatant preachiness concentrated in the trailer for Lions for Lambs, an upcoming film also written by Matthew Michael Carnahan.
