The Kingdom (first movie in GSC pavilion)

'A GOOD MOVIE, WHICH IS SO REAL... and IT IS SOMETHING HAPPENING OUT THERE....'

I am not a fan of action movie.. but this movie caugh my attention because of Jamie Foxx (the oscar best actor), never see him in any action movie before (i am not so sure i have missed his previous action movie or this is his first one..)

here's the plot of the movie...
Terrorists attack a compound for foreign workers in Riyadh, killing over a hundred people including Special Agent Francis Manner (Kyle Chandler)-- the FBI's lead agent in Saudi Arabia. While the FBI is hamstrung by diplomatic sensitivities and unable to send agents to investigate, Special Agent Fleury (Jamie Foxx) takes matters into his own hands and leads a team to investigate. With agents Janet Mayes (Jennifer Garner), Adam Leavitt (Jason Bateman), and Grant Sykes (Chris Cooper) at his side, he hopes to discover who was responsible for the bombing within a week's time. However, the team find their investigation of the scene stalled by bureaucracy and their presence, as American outsiders, unwelcome. They eventually gain the trust of Saudi Arabian police officer Colonel Faris Al Ghazi (Ashraf Barhom) and his colleague Sgt Haytham (Ali Suliman), with whom they work to find the perpetrator. As Ghazi and the agents close on the terrorist responsible for the bombing, their convoy is attacked and Leavitt is abducted. The agents then move in on the terrorist leader's neighborhood. They successfully rescue Leavitt and eliminate the enemy threat in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, Al Ghazi is killed, which affects the team emotionally. Agent Fleury and his team return home.

overall it is a good movie, beside the actions, gun shots and booming.. the movie is so real, it is something happening out there, we saw it in tv news, newspaper or internet, juz that we are not living in that environment, so we can't really feel the impact and the damage caused by it..

after the movie, we are so doubt of why this movie is not banned here?? religion is playing a very important role in this movie, and we though it is quite a sensitive issue here as a Muslim country.. anyway thanks for letting this movie showing here and we have a chance to watch a movie which is so real..

one interesting part of the movie is when Jennifer Garner got the news of her best frens died in the attack, she was so sad and Jamie Foxx said something near to her ear.. and the same thing happened when the leader who arranged the attack was killed, he do said something near to his grand daughter before he die.. so everybody (the actors in the movie and also the audiences were so curious about what they have said???) .. finally before the show ends.. we all got the answer... "KILL THEM ALL....".. OMG!! we all are so shock when we know the answer... suddenly it pop up in my mind that 'world peace' seems like something very difficult (or impossible) to achieve... sad.. damn sad...

this is the first movie i watched in GSC pavilion.. no doubt the cinema is so clean and what impressed me so much is the seats.. it is so comfortable!! it is great for those with long legs like me.. haha.. so i am sure we will go there for movies more than other theater..
