    may call me crazy kingdom was the most entertaining movie of 2007. i dont know the last time one movie delivered great entertainment , and touched on an important topic (terrorism). the last 30 minutes were the most intense i have ever seen in a movie. in the past producers were hesitant (for good reason) when it came to making movies about terrorism, especially regarding the controversies in saudi arabia, and while terrorism is certaintly no laughing or entertaining matter, this movie was so much more then just a statement on the war on terror. the FBI team assembeld by foxx's character did a CSI type investigation on the attacks on american citizens in saudi arabia, and despite limited cooperation from locals, with their lifes at risks, they were determined to hunt down the killer and defend the american victims -cooper, garner, foxx, bateman and barhoum were the perfect mixture. and garner flashed off her action/fighting talents from her alias days

    This film does a good job of shedding light on the Saudi-US relationship as well as the political web that is the Middle East. Berg did an excellent job on not just showing the radical Islam extremists, but also gave a glimpse into the everyday lives of those who are just trying to live in peace. Solid cast that does a good job. Cinematography is good, similar to that Berg uses on the TV drama "Friday Night Lights". By the way, it was good to see the head coach of the Dillon Panthers with a cameo early in the film.

    Seriously this is an outstanding movie, well done, but Hollywood in its usual ignorant fashion has to throw a stupid political statement in at the very end. Ah yes...kill them all! Are you kidding me, do people really think that that thought process holds any water when it comes to our decisions in the middle east? It apparently is, disappointing, but still a great movie.
