The Kingdom - "Trust No One"
When a terrorist bomb detonates inside a Western housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, an international incident is ignited. While diplomats slowly debate equations of territorialism, FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury quickly assembles an elite team and negotiates a secret five-day trip into Saudi Arabia to locate the madman behind the bombing. Upon landing in the desert kingdom, however, Fleury and his team discover Saudi authorities suspicious and unwelcoming of American interlopers into what they consider a local matter. Hamstrung by protocol-and with the clock ticking on their five days-the FBI agents find their expertise worthless without the trust of their Saudi counterparts, who want to locate the terrorist in their homeland on their own terms. Fleury's crew finds a like-minded partner in Saudi Colonel Al-Ghazi, who helps them navigate royal politics and unlock the secrets of the crime scene and the workings of an extremist cell bent on further destruction. With these unlikely allies sharing a propulsive commitment to crack the case, the team is led to the killer's front door in a blistering do-or-die confrontation. Now in a fight for their own lives, strangers united by one mission won't stop until justice is found in The Kingdom.

This movie was very dramatic and takes you into the world that America has aided overseas by their involvement in affairs that they should have stayed out of. The reality of this movie hits home really hard, at some points though it gets confusing. And this is not one to watch on your surround sound system because of all the gun blasts and explosions, it makes it to where you are struggling to hear the actors/actresses. This is one of Jamie Fox's better performances, and he did an excellent job pulling off the role. I definetely recommend this movie to all, especially to those who are involved in one way or another in the Wars in the Middle-East.
