The Kingdom

Movie about a bombing in Saudi Arabia, and the investigation that follows it.

Apparently the FBI Dream Team for investigating, involves a blind piano-player/singer, a known traitor, a very disguise-tastic secret agent, and a housing company president. Roughly translated as Ray Charles from Ray, Robert Hanssen from Breach, that chick from Alias, and Michael Bluth from Arrested Development.

And the State Department guy just referred to Jennifer Garner's boobs as "situations".

And I've decided that I want an Apache gunship to escort me around. It'd be awesome. Maybe I could ride in it, too...

I like what they're doing with some of the Saudis speaking with each other. For some of the arguments between two Saudi characters when an American character is present, they don't have subtitles, and rely on translations by the characters after the fact. Helps add to the air of foreign-ness.

Rather good filming and cutting of the fight/chase scenes. Very frantic, but the shots are still long enough that you still have a decent idea of what's going on. Unlike some of the Bad SciFi stuff. Average shot's probably about 2 seconds long in this one, compared with about half a second for most of the bad SciFi stuff.

Also, Jennifer Garner = Zombie. Going for brains. OK, she's kinda hot, but the whole Zombie thing is kinda turning me off right now. She's one of those people who are really hot at certain points, and then not so much at others. Tis very strange.

OK, note to self: Do not fuck with Jennifer Garner. She'll try to eat your brains. Then she'll stab you in the balls. Then the chest. Then the back of the head.

Quite a good action movie. Well worth a watch.
