Review: The Kingdom

Whether or not terrorism should be treated as a civil matter opposed to a military one is a key question at the center of the Iraq war debate. The issue is clearly raised throughout the Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights, the Rundown) directed thriller “The Kingdom.” Despite the controversial topic, Kingdom delivers as Berg’s best project yet.

After so many are killed in this heartless attack, an elite FBI team, led by FBI special agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx), is assembled.
