A Unique and Important War Film

"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.
