A Wild, Emotional Ride in 'The Kingdom'

Strap on your Kevlar vest, buckle your seatbelt and get ready to head out at 100 miles per hour. Because when you're investigating a terrorist bombing in the heart of Islam, it's not exactly the safest place for a Westerner.
It's a rude awakening for the FBI's terrorism task force led by the hard-nose, tough-as-nails, family guy Ronald Fleury, played by academy award winner Jamie Foxx. Fleury lands in the sweltering heat of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and is bluntly told his investigation will have to wait - until, that is, a photo op is arranged with a Saudi prince looking to take credit for the cross-cultural detente.
The Kingdom is at once infuriating and heartwarming - a tough thing to be when dealing with cinematic subject matter that hits so close to home.
Chock full of all its irony, frustration, hope and helplessness, the cinematic "Kingdom" compiled by Peter Berg - whose credits include episodes of the gritty high school football television series "Friday Night Lights"
