The Kingdom (2007)

The Kingdom is an action thriller directed by Peter Berg that stars Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman, and Jennifer Garner. The film is based on a number of terrorist attacks that occurred from 1996 through 2003. It tells the story of an FBI rapid deployment team who makes their way over to Saudi Arabia to track down the terrorists responsible for the deadly attack on an American oil company housing compound.

Yes Day (2021)

If you are looking for a little bit lighter film from Jennifer Garner, well then Netflix has what you need. It is called Yes Day and the family film follows Allison (Garner) and Carlos Torres (Édgar Ramírez) as parents of three young children.

When Allison and Carlos first met, they were up for anything, saying yes to all sorts of adventures. But when their children came along, they began to say no to everything, wanting to protect their children from harm. When the parents find out how their children see them, they decide to give them a yes day, a day where they can do anything within reason and the parents cannot say no.

Yes Day is a silly and touching family film that shows the value of parents interacting with their children. Jenna Ortega also stars as Allison and Carlos’ eldest daughter, Katie.

This film showing on Netflix has Garner playing Riley North, a mom who over time transforms herself from mild-mannered into a vigilante seeking justice for the cartel that killed her husband and young daughter. Garner once again puts on her action thriller shoes as she teaches herself the ins and outs of lethal weapons and hand-to-hand combat, the skills she will use to seek vengeance. John Ortiz, John Gallagher Jr., and Annie Ilonzeh also star in this explosive thriller.
