The Kingdom - 4 stars out of 5 stars

Not for a minute do I believe this story could ever happen but great acting and direction again show why Hollywood makes magic.At the end of the film I thought wow it could happen and more,it should be this way if it did happen.I took 1 star off just because it CAN'T happen this way in Saudi Arabia with the US,not now anyway.Released in 2007 and running 110 minutes ,the story idea is fascinating and currently maybe believable. Trailer URL below the pix and a IMDB summary below.

After a terrorist attack to an American housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where families and the spy Francis Manner are murdered, FBI agent Ronald Fleury blackmails the South Arabian consul to get five days of investigation in the location. He travels with agent Grant Sykes, Janet Mayes and Adam Leavitt to revenge their friend and try to find the responsible for the bombing. The agents find all sorts of difficulties in their investigation, but they are supported by Colonel Faris Al Ghazi that advises the team how to act in a hostile environment.
