Three Kings
USA 1999, 111 minutes
Dir. David O. Russell
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Action/Adventure / War
Aroview: A refreshingly irreverent view of the US Military translated into a box-office hit for this unpredictable black-comedy that puts a subversive spin on just about every 'army-movie' cliché around.
Set in the aftermath of the Gulf War, three soldiers get wind of a secret stash of Kuwaiti gold bullion and go AWOL to 'win' themselves some war-booty. Story takes many satisying twists and turns, with writer/director Russell (SPANKING THE MONKEY) creating rounded characters and, intelligently, never taking lightly the grim realities of this particular conflict.

4 stars (Very Good) A fun war adventure film that takes the 'gold hunt' premise of the classic 'Kelly's heroes', adding more realistic grit and a little more dark comedy. Great film with intriguing characters and plot. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) A bomb-bastic, darkly funny war film unlike any other. ~Wizzums
2 stars (Good Try) Starts off okay with the odd good if familiar moment but then gets a bit tiresome. ~Tubbs
