This is a forgotten gem. We should get a movie like this for every _Top Gun_ or Michael Bay film that’s released. I’d never think about approaching a war parody like this, but that’s why David O. Russell is a great filmmaker and I’m not. Extremely well written (love the characters and subtext, most of the comedy is kept subtle), great performances by Ice Cube, Marky Mark, Spike Jonze and Clooney, superb soundtrack and sound design and very original/unpredictable. The editing and camerawork take some time getting used to, but I have no problems with how it was executed. If anything it made the film more memorable for me. Love the colour palette and film grain, looks great. 9/10

"Just tell me what we did here!" It's a good point. I won't pretend that I know what we should do in every situation, but the film Three Kings raises questions on war. Three Kings also has an interesting story that puts a small group of US soldiers trying to liberate Kuwaiti gold for themselves only to be thrown right into what the Iraqi people were dealing with. There's a lot of great shots that David O. Russell and team that make Three Kings feel unique. It blends a war movie with elements of comedy that I will always enjoy.

Like a lot of Clooney's films over the last 10+ years, I wanted to like it more than I did. I like him and I like David O. Russel... I just wasn't overly shot in the arse with this film.

It just goes around and around. American imperialism. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, round and round, forever. Now they’re starting up again. This film does a good job of showing it how it is.

It is More subversive than imagined.
