...Then we hunker down to investigation scenes from some CSI: Riyadh: ditch-diggings, bullet analysis and an autopsy. Faris has his own method: he searches corpses not for fingerprints but for missing fingers. Is this a flashback to Hitchcock's The 39 Steps? No, it's evidence that the dead man was a bombmaker. One of The Kingdom's best scenes has Fleury and Faris quizzing a retired terrorist (the effortlessly intimidiating Uri Gavriel). The old man holds up a hand with two missing fingertips and says, "Every bombmaker gets bitten by his own works...
American dads, moms and kids watch a softball game in a Middle East compound. BOOM! go the terrorist bombs, and dozens are killed. Local soldiers stop a suspicious car at a checkpoint. BRAAAAAT! spits the evildoers' gunfire, and the soldiers are dead. Back at the ballfield death scene, an ambulance drives off, carrying the wounded. KA-BLAM! A suicide bomber was inside. From the roof of a building a mile or so away, the masterminds of these atrocities record it all on video, for bragging rights later...

After all, storms really were battering Europe at the time; that week high winds and rain had killed 14 in the U.K. alone. But all great cons have a grain of truth in them somewhere...
...times, the spiritual effect of the movie is strong. Emile Hirsch, popularized by teen movies like “The Girl Next Door” and “Alpha Dog,” gives an amazing performance as the lead in this substantially more serious film. A dead-on match for McCandless, his persona on screen is moody enough to capture the societal angst of his character. With a bristly face and a slightly ironic tone, Hirsch might have the angry post-grad down better than Jake Gyllenhaal. Sean Penn, directing his fifth feature film, likely used some...
