the last 30 minutes are so intense, i don't think i've ever been as on edge watching a non-horror movie.

Saw it in theaters with a friend of mine right before he got sent off to Iraq



Thats funny, I watched it with my 2 roommates who had just got back from Iraq. I fricking love that movie though. Tim Mcgraw was the shite in this movie too, talking about finding his kid putting his mom's face back together with tape or some shite? Jesus, gives me chills

So damn true.

Shouldn't ruin it for anyone but...

Never felt hate for an old MF like I did watching that movie.



Then I realized that was the point.

I need to watch this again. I remember how much I loved it. It's been probably three years since I have watched it.

Im rewatching it right now and I'm honestly catching new stuff that i ignored 3 years ago. Also, perviously a poster said that Jason Bateman showed his range as an actor in this film. I couldn't agree more with this statement.

Just finished watching it.... great film imho
SPOILERS































Just a few things of note:
-For some reason watching Col.Faris die in the very end gets to me & makes me pissed off. He was the one part of the story that i completely forgot about..
-The ending where the entire team is back in D.C. & the little muslim kid is with his mother, is pretty chilling.

Awesome, awesome movie. I saw it a couple of years ago, and have been wanting to rewatch it lately, and did so over the weekend. I forgot just how good this movie is.

For those who haven't seen it, it stars Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jennifer Garner, and Jason Bateman.

It's about a terrorist attack on an American compound in Saudi Arabia (known as "The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"), and a team of FBI agents who travel there to try and piece together what happened, how it happened, and who is responsible.

It's a pretty intense movie. The opening scenes kinda take you by storm and things kinda get rolling from there. Ans the last 30 or 45 minutes or so are incredibly intense and action-packed and will have you on the edge of your seat.

I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. And for those who have, what did you think about it?

And for those that haven't seen it, there may be some spoiler-ish discussions in this thread, so be careful.
I saw this when it first came out and recently have watched it a few times since. It's one of those movies, while not spectacular or eye porn, sort of keeps my attention.

Tim McGraw's cameo was a strong one.
