RE: The Kingdom: "This is a bad neighborhood".

I saw this several weeks ago, and while I enjoyed parts of the ride, I think it is mediocre.

I agree it ends on a very strong point . . . both sides villify the other and think they are totally justified in killing the other side.

The movie is so unbelievable. Of course, only the crack FBI team is up to the task of investigating this terrorist bombing of an American housing compound in "The Kingdom." The locals are too incompetent.

This investigation would take months. But they complete it in the length of the movie, which in this case, is 5 days.

These FBI agents are investigators, and while they may cross train with weapons, during the last 30 minutes, they are transformed into swat team par excellence.

Jennifer Gardiner adds little to the story. I just couldn't believe her character. Maybe she needs to be given a better part. I dunno.

And absolutely despise the excessive use of the "unsteady cam" camera work.
