most satires are scathing. this one is. few satires are moving. this one is.
Three Kings is one of the best war satires ive seen. Brilliantly funny, Heart wrenchingly tragic, Bloodily violent and mind bendingly intelligent. Three Kings is a standout movie. A movie that takes a dark stark look at mankind, its wars, its idiocy and its greatness. The movie restores faith in humanity. The problem with most hollywood war movies is that it is so mind numbingly patriotic, that it is nauseating. while the heroes of the movie are american, so are the villains. turns out the real heroes are the ones with hearts.
clooney gives his usual performance, same expressions, but they work. wahlberg is effective, as are ice cube & surprisingly spike jonze too. The star of the movie is david russell's excellent and gripping direction. a must watch for war movie buffs and everyone who loves a good human story. this movie takes a great stark look at war, while managing to be intellectual and funny.
A completely entertaining 9!!
