Three Kings is your basic Hollywood action movie with some laughs here and there. There are some liberal notions along the way where it shows some American criticism which makes the movie honest in terms of looking at the first Iraq situation from different perspectivs: US soldier, Iraqi rebel, Iraqi soldier, Iraqi people including different types of muslim people, American citizen and so forth. The director and the author made a good effort into showing a well rounded movie.

Hi! Here's a good and question and an easy one to those who have watched the movie: Which is the song (a begees song-like) used when a GI and guy are in the same car and the radio plays this song (a seventies pop typicall song) ? If someone knows the title, please let me know. Thanks in advance :)

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
I was expecting a so-so movie and the beginning was certainly nothing to write home about. But as the Three Kings got deeper into the local political situation, the movie took an incredible surreal turn. The director shows a real desire in wanting the viewer to understand each individual's situation. Hollywood movies tend to show American soldiers as heroic and morally incorruptible and an enemy with no redeeming values. The soldiers in this movie are all in the gray zone. The Some of the violent scenes were absolutely chilling. Personally, I would have preferred that they tone it down a little so those images wouldn't still be floating around in my head. At first, I couldn't have cared less about what would happen to the Three Kings. But by the end, I was on the edge of my seat wanting to find out what would happen to the main characters and to the villagers to whom they promised a safe passage out of the country. The ending was very satisfying. The photography was outstanding. The acting was excellent. Having seen this soon after the toppling of the Hussein regime in Iraq, it could have looked hokey had the story been poorly crafted or jingoistic. It's a credit to the director that the movie remains riveting. I will be on the watch for David Russell's movies in the future. It wasn't a perferct movie, but I give it high marks for its originality.

Takes the pi_ _ out of the arabs. In the real gulf war the americans were shi-ing in their pants and plus if it was a true story then those three american soldiers wouldn't last for 10 minutes. Could have made the movie interesting and could have made it more clear to how the people are suffering Not bad, but I could make a better movie!!!

An alright movie... Not the best... But it was okay... I wouldn't pay much to see it but if theres nothin better to watch this will take up plenty time... It was funny at parts, gross at parts (map shoved up a guys ass? !? ! Eeww!!! ), but the whole thing was sooo slow!! The movie dragged on for like what seemed as forever!!! Could have been way better but still an okay flik to catch. =)

Good movie. I wouldn't have paid the $10 bucks to see it at the movie theatre, but a really good movie to rent. I recommend this movie to those of you who don't know what to rent on a Friday night.

An enjoyable action flick with some violence and humor mixed in. Worth seeing on video, but not for the kids!

I know people like this movie, but I thought it was mediocre at best and not worth spending the money at the box office.
