Watched a very good movie this evening

I sat down and watched a very good movie this evening. It is called the Kingdom. The producer created a great action flick, one with plenty of explosions and violence and gunplay, and yet he also included a couple of messages that strike to the heart.

Has anyone here seen this movie? If so what did you think?

I added it to our netflix queue even though it doesn't look exactly like my kind of movie. Can you say anything more about the messages without ruining it?

Nope, but I will say that you have to watch it all the way through.

I watched this movie...
I would caution some that have lost someone to the recent conflicts overseas. As someone that did I would say be careful watching this movie because it is very 'real'. I had difficulties with it and still do.

Yes it is very real, which is one of the reasons it is so good. It doesn't candy coat it in the least. You get to see the results of violence up close and personal. The only things you don't get are the feel and the fear. (But you can very easily get an idea of it.)

This movie isn't Rambo, it is Mack Bolan and it isn't Richard Marcinko. In fact I am honestly surprised that it came out of Follywood.
