Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 Mar 2012

So shameless is The Kingdom, ignoring consequence and treating its audience like cash-dispensing machines with buttons to be pushed rather…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Lawrence Toppman (1,654) for Charlotte Observer (1,670) on 26 Dec 2010

Director Peter Berg and first-time writer Matthew Michael Carnahan do a smooth, efficient job of storytelling most of the way…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By A.o. Scott (2,100) for The New York Times (9,847) on 08 Jul 2010

The result is a slick, brutishly effective genre movie: “Syriana” for dummies. Which is not entirely a put-down…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Stephen Farber (295) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 29 Jun 2010

Berg's movie is no more than an action movie with an exotic backdrop. That would be fine, if only the movie were more exciting…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 23 Jun 2010

The filmmakers's attempts to balance out the gung-ho shoot-'em-ups with an overlay of fairness are rudimentary…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Marc Mohan (821) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 28 Mar 2010

Wants to be both a hot-button, ripped-from-the-headlines statement movie and a crowd-pleasing, rip-roaring action thriller…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 12 Feb 2010

If the jingoism that permeates the latter half of The Kingdom does not sufficiently sour the experience of watching it, then the film's closing…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Helen O'hara (407) for Empire (3,446) on 12 Jan 2010

Not quite as smart as it wants to be, and a better action movie than it is a political thriller, this is still a heart-pounding drama…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 27 Oct 2009

The Kingdom comes down to a police procedural, and one whose procedures prove none too interesting…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 26 Aug 2009

There's no real difference between choreographing a bloody jihadist skirmish and a gridiron match…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 21 Jun 2009

At its core this is just another piece of big-studio nothingness…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Jack Mathews (1,044) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 13 Dec 2008

Berg has an excellent eye for violent extravaganza and the action - especially a 10-15 minute set piece midway through - is as cleansing as…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Liam Lacey (1,725) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 16 Nov 2008

The Kingdom is a barely coherent compendium of Middle East fantasies, fears and doubts…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Jul 2008

Overall, the film is smart and engaging, and if it plays a little on our fears of the next big terrorist attack, it does so without feeling…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Jun 2008

A timely--if tepid--fantasy of American vengeance on the Qutbian extremists of Saudi Arabia…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 18 May 2008

Director Peter Berg's frenetic style heightens tension and a sense of disorientation. But some will find its chaotic quality dizzying and off-putting…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for MSNBC (243) on 30 Apr 2008

[I]t fails in its attempt to be a serious drama with important things to say about the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 03 Mar 2008

Jamie Foxx leading his team of experts into uncharted territory, which then leads to the longest, best action sequence of the year…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Brandon Fibbs (448) for Colorado Springs Gazette (140) on 28 Feb 2008

Of this fall's post-9/11, Iraq-conscious lineup, The Kingdom may be the most unobjectionable, accessible and, ultimately, most entertaining…

Review of The Kingdom (2007)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 27 Feb 2008

Matthew Michael Carnahan's caffeinated script isn't much concerned with balance, but it gets some anyway, from the resonant images of culture…
