9/26/07: The Kingdom (2007)We’re kind of busy over here, so let’s go ahead and use today’s entry to recommend
The Kingdom. As
recently noted, director Peter Berg has been establishing his alibis for this anti-terrorist film. He even lined up an acting role in the upcoming Lefty extravaganza
Lions for Lambs. That might get critics trying to find some sort of anti-American message in
The Kingdom. They tried that with
300, too.
The Kingdom remains a fine drama about killing a bunch of soulless terrorists. If you know anyone who finds moral equivalency in the final scene, then you should shoot them. We’re kidding—but, really, it would be okay.
Make it your own: The Kingdom’s opening this Friday. If you’re in New York or L.A., it’s understandable to go see
The Darjeeling Limited first.
