I cant wait to check it out, it looks pretty sweet. Ive liked the majority of movies Jamie Foxx has been in, plus I like the 'look' of this movie. Any word on any reviews?

I saw an early showing in August (someone at work had free tix, so why not). It was decent, and opened my eyes a bit to just how crazy some people are in this world. I don't know if I would pay theater rates to see it, but maybe a rental or wait till network TV.

Trailers look good. I donno about seeing it at an opener though. I can't stand the crowds.

Saw the Kingdom, did anyone get sick from the camera work? I sorta get sick from the jittery camera work in fighting scenes which seem common now in a lot of movies. Makes my head spin. But jittery camera work in interrogation scenes and plain old dialogue? Come on!! Stop moving the camera! I felt like taking a tylenol at one point, and all they were doing was sitting and chatting with some former bombmaker.

I heard it was decent, just not as good as some expected.

Though terrorism and political agenda movies seem to spark a lot of people interests now-a-days so you never know.

I saw it Friday night and FREAKIN LOVED IT. I do not like Jamie Foxx at all, but this movie was excellent. To all who say otherwise either haven't seen it or they were watching something else. Great flick - yes, see it in the theaters.

I saw it this past Friday ... I thought it was a great movie. I really liked the actor who played the main Saudi army guy.

Every movie Jamie Foxx just gets better and better imo.
