Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

As Good As It Gets

The dumbed down version of Syriana with shoot outs explosions and one liners.

I happened across this late one evening and not having heard about its release a number of years ago liked the initial hook. The political machinations of US dealings with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia could really have been developed, and Piven's clumsy insertions into the movie serve no real point. With its decent cast and premise this could have been so much more. Foxx, Bateman and Garner (amazingly in the latter's case) do well in the rather limited confines of the script. Ashraf Barhom is very good, Chris Cooper is criminally under-utilised. A predictable by-the-numbers ending sadly wasted a lot of possibilities.

A team of U.S. government agents is sent to investigate the bombing of an American facility in the Middle East. The Kingdom is a 2007 action war film starring Jennifer Garner, Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper and Jason Bateman and honestly i was surprised by the performance of Bateman not your typical over the top comedian and Garner, Cooper and Foxx they were really really good. The chase scenes and action sequences are handled very good by director and also actor Peter Beg you also directed Lone Survivor another great film. If you can accept this film and not judge it as propaganda i think you will be fine also don't except action every 2 seconds the movie is very interesting on it's own way.

Don't care about the story line, nor cast. Its okay if the producers can't afford a decent professional camera and have to use a hand held camera, but its not so okay when the producers entrust the movie to an incompetent over smart director. Who in turn feels empowered enough to do the same by employing a cinematographer suffering from Parkinson's disease. Surely, it was a fine gesture and a good example for 'Equal opportunities for the Disabled', but sadly at the price of viewer's headache. If you are hardcore and are not easily physically inconvenienced with cockeyedness or gut wrenching headaches, this movie is a must for you. Do enjoy!!!
