I loved the True Lies movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Lies
Thanks, I was hoping to find a review on FR. Thank you very much
I watched the trailers but was wondering if this Tom Clancey/Dale Brown/Stephan Coonts fan would like it.
Question, should we leave our 15 year old at her friends house?
After watching “24” back track on Muslim terrorists I didn’t think Hollywood could make a movie that laid the blame squarely at the feet of Islam. But this was a total repudiation of Wahabbi Islam as practiced in Saudi Arabia. This is every Americans dream of what should be done but never will.
Only movie I want to see is The Kingdom.....is now a parking lot!
Maybe it’s just me but I think Jamie Foxx is one of the best actors out there. Problem is he has to have a hell of a script to get him to really act. Great in Dreamgirls, Ray, and Any Given Sunday. And he was the only redeeming cast member of Jarhead.
Hell of step up from Booty Call :)
And if Shlussel thinks Saudi Arabia comes out looking good in this, then she's completely off base. Completely.
That depends on what your standards are, but there is a lot of language. No sex. Plenty of violence and tense situations: the captive is about to be beheaded. Do they get there? No spoilers.
Except for the fact that the Saudis supply major funding to terrorists organizations throughout the world and promote their extreme form of islam. Anyway, what does this have to do with the IRA and the Brits? And Arab terrorists have been killing Americans since 1970.
Most movie reviewers are liberals. There are very few I trust.
This sounds like it's worth going out of my the way to see.
Wow, I can’t believe they were able to make a movie like this.
Thanks for the great review, LS.
According to the IMDB
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431197/locations
the film was shot in Abu Dhabi and Arizona.
The bad guys are named and they are Wahabis, 9-11 is referenced as an act of Islamic terror right in the beginning, the good guys have a Christian symbol on the office wall, the good guys win, the bad guys die, I liked it!
My feelings for the House of Saud I cannot adequately express. @#$%^&*()_+!!!!!
Ahhh...interesting ~ Thanks!
