How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.

Three questions

Is The Kingdom scary?
Only a little. The Kingdom has a few tense moments, nothing that follows you to bed.
How gory is The Kingdom?
Graphic gore and brutal violence. If graphic gore is a dealbreaker, skip it.
What is The Kingdom rated, and is it OK for kids?
Brutal violence, some strong language and graphic gore. The R is earned, so not for kids.

What is The Kingdom about?

A team of U.S. government agents is sent to investigate the bombing of an American facility in the Middle East.

Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)

Bittersweet. It earns its ending, but not everyone gets what they want.
