The Kingdom

So on Friday night I went to see "The Kingdom" starring Jamie Foxx. Now to be honest, I haven't actually seen any films of his, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but hey, it's half term and I haven't been to the movies for a while, and the synopis looked kind of interesting. Yeah, in a back of the eyelids sort of way. Don't go see this film if you are susceptible to epileptic fits. Ok, I know epileptics are affected by flashing lights, and there weren't any in this film, so I'm being facetious, but seriously, the whole film was shot by some guy using a handheld on the back of a moving vehicle who had never heard of a tripod. I mean, really! I had a major headache by the end. I don't know how they think that style of shooting is acceptable, I'm surprised that they haven't been sued by migraine sufferers or something! And as for Jamie Foxx? Well I don't get what all the fuss is about, actually. Cute factor = 0, acting ability = maybe 4 or 5... and there is really not much else to say about him. Jason Bateman was alright, I guess, but that was about it. Do yourself a favour, give this one a miss!
