"Three Kings" takes its material serious enough that it manages to be both a satirical and a sincere portrait of the Gulf War.

A mixture of stylish direction, genre clashing, and random music selection, makes this one fast paced entertainer. The plot is original and unpredictable. It's constantly switching from comedy, to action, to drama, sometimes all at once and without hesitation. Quite a fun watch.

"Three Kings" is a strange mixing of genres that somehow works itself into an effective and thought-provoking war film. With moments of dark comedy aimed at showing some of the more absurdist aspects of the Gulf War and some moments of poignant clarity, the film is always exciting and interesting. The unlikely trio of Clooney, Ice Cube, and Wahlberg are all superb and share a tension-driven camraderie that adds sparks to every scene. I also liked director Spike Jonze's drawl-heavy supporting character.

This is probably my favorite war movie of all time or pretty darn close. I'm not a huge war movie fanatic and this movie keeps a tone that waffles between serious and humor that I find much more engaging then the usual over dramatic nature of war movies. The story is interesting and original. The lead actors all do a great job in their roles making this a very funny movie that still pulls at the heart.

A great look at the first Gulf War. It actually takes place after the war is over. I wanted to give it 4 stars, but there was something missing. It's a must see to learn about the personal sacrifices that soldiers make to make the world a better place for other people.

While this doesn't have the power of some of the other films detailing the war in Iraq, this is none-the-less a smart yet humorous take on the war. War is brutal, but this film proves it doesn't have to be completely serious.
