M+M Monday VIII – The Kingdom

I remember wanting to see this movie when it came out in theatres, but never did. I’ve seen that it has been on HBO alot recently and finally got to watching it last night. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

Not necessarily ‘oscar’ worthy or the best all time movie, but well written, interesting and very relevant story in todays world, exciting and action packed but also very moving with some subject matter. A very disturbing but powerful ending!

Here is the trailer which gives me goosebumps just watching it:

And I will finish this post with a quote from the movie that really struck me:

“And, once we clued into the fact that life is finite, the thought of losing it didn’t scare us anymore. The end comes no matter what, the only thing that matters is how do you wanna go out, on your feet or on your knees? I bring that lesson to this job. I act, knowing that someday this job will end, no matter what.”
