A small group of adventurous American soldiers in Iraq at the
end of the Gulf War are determined to steal a huge cache of gold reputed to be
hidden somewhere near their desert base. Finding a map they believe will take
them to the gold, they embark on a journey that leads to unexpected
discoveries, enabling them to rise to a heroic challenge that drastically
changes their lives. Written by imran

I chose this film because I wanted to see the entire catalog
of David. O. Russell. Not familiar
with his work see FLIRTING WITH DISATER, SILVERLININGS PLAYBOOK, AMERICAN HUSTLE,
and JOY. The common thread with each of those films is the comedic aspect that
for me makes each of those films unique and memorable. Some may even also say
the blend of actors he used worked well together like in SILVERLININGS
PLAYBOOK, AMERICAN HUSTLE, and JOY. Having said that I don’t know what to think
of THREE KINGS as I feel it was a film to make a comment about the Gulf War
that basically was a wonderment of why were we even over there. Ultimately I
like the cast and even the heist aspect of the film, but it just was a bit hard
to really believe this could happen and if was indeed a possibility then I must
ask why were we really there? So for THREE KINGS I give it 3 stars.
