Movie Reviews of Three Kings

Movie Review: What kind of movie is it? I don't know.
Summary: 2 Stars

It's not a war movie . Neither it's an action nor a comedy. There are a few funny scenes.

Summary of Three Kings

When restless american foot soldiers left out of operation desert storms high-tech warfare go on a renegade mission to loot $23 million in iraqi gold they discoer more action than they ever could want and their own humanity as well. Special features: bunkers - three hidden features and much more. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: George Clooney Ice Cube Run time: 115 minutes Rating: R Director: David O. Russell
A confident hybrid of M*A*S*H, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and Dr. Strangelove, Three Kings is one of the most seriously funny war movies ever made. Improving the premise of Kelly's Heroes with scathing intelligence, it explores the odd connection between war and consumerism in the age of Humvees and cellular phones. Writer-director David O.?Russell's third film (after Spanking the Monkey and Flirting with Disaster), it's a no-holds-barred portrait of personal conscience in the volatile arena of politics, played out by one of the most gifted filmmakers to emerge in the 1990s.

George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube, and Spike Jonze (director of Being John Malkovich) play a quartet of U.S.?soldiers who, disillusioned by Operation Desert Storm, decide to steal $23?million in gold hijacked from Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's army. Getting the bullion out of an Iraqi stronghold is easy; keeping it is a potentially lethal proposition. By the end of their mercenary mission, the Americans can no longer ignore wartime atrocities (and neither can we--the film is boldly unflinching), and conscience demands their aid to Iraqi rebels abandoned by President George Bush's fickle wartime policy. This is serious stuff indeed, but Russell infuses Three Kings with a keen sense of the absurd, and the entire film is an exercise in breathtaking visual ingenuity. Despite a conventional ending that's mildly disappointing for such a brashly original film, Three Kings conveys the brutal madness of war while making you laugh out loud at the insanity. --Jeff Shannon
