The Kingdom is the realm of Saudi Arabia, where "tradition and modernity are in violent collision" and the theme of yet another movie about the war on terror. We start with a confrontational Jamie Foxx arguing with Saudis for an hour, which is mostly him griping about American authority and the Saudis yelling at him every time he grazes some sort of Islamic blasphemy or threatening to wash his mouth with soap when he uses the word "fuck".
The meat of the movie is a sectarian ambush during his investigation that leads to a massive shootout and chase scene, during which Foxx and company kill over 100 Arab gunmen. After a decent bloodbath, he executes a terrorist bighead and gets a pat on the back by the FBI. This movie also has a bit of an idealogical story that basically says: "Fuck with fundamentalism and there are no happy endings. Everyone goes home a loser."
Rating: 55%
Filler.

I liked it. Shows how insane all of Saudi Arabia is. Jamie Foxx kills 100 Arabs because he loves his job. Oo-rah
Then he gets his pilots license and crashes into a mountainside trying to bring down a rogue AI and goes blind
