The movie was good i liked the the acting very much, but unfortunately they missed to many important event in king Faisal life. The biggest part in his life was assigned as foreign minister and how he defended for Islamic nation problems. One thing they mentioned wrong, king faisal left London to Paris because they ignore them and didn't take them seriously.

big-screen versions of such tales were better than reading about them in a book

The movie was amazing. I never expected it to be that good. There were clips where I felt extremely proud of my country and the kings of Saudi Arabia.

We don't know yet what the reaction will be, but I think this movie will help the opening of the Kingdom to the world because it shows a Saudi Arabia they don't know.

Not as I great as I wanted it to be

I was hoping to love this film, but alas I only ended up mildly positive about it. My biggest issue is the clunky dialoge which was excruciating at times. The actors did their best with what they had, but I think the script should have been looked at by Saudi filmmakers to make sure not only the actors got the dialect correctly, but also that the words coming out of their mouths ring true. That said, it is nice to see a chapter of our history depicted on big screen, and the film looked good with great production values.
