In 1991, as the Gulf War winds to a close, three American servicemen find themselves happy to have achieved victory but wondering about the ultimate importance of what they've done (especially since Saddam Hussein is still in power). Major Archie Gates (George Clooney) is a decorated Vietnam veteran and special forces officer with two weeks to go before he retires; Sgt. Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg) has a new baby at home; and Chief Elgin (Ice Cube) is probably just going to end up back in Detroit. So when one of them comes across a map that seems to point out where Saddam's forces have stashed a large cache of gold they stole from Kuwait, they decide to follow the trail and take some of the war booty for themselves. However, the deeper they journey into Iraq, the more they see of the consequences of America's policies in the Middle East. Although President George Bush and the American military urged Iraqi citizens to rise up against Saddam Hussein, and pledged their support to a people's movement against the leader, Iraqis found that when they took to the streets against Saddam, the United States did not back them up, and the loss of Iraqi lives was fearsome. When Gates, Barlow and Elgin become aware of what's happening, they're torn between their desire to grab the fortune they came for and the demands of their conscience to help the people they came to liberate. Three Kings was directed by David O. Russell and marked a significant change of direction after his dark-humored relationship comedies, Spanking the Monkey and Flirting with Disaster. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Movie Release on Theater Oct 1, 1999 Wide

Three Kings Movie Review
A damning yet idealistic satire about the motives behind U.S. foreign policy. Lisa Alspector-Chicago Reader No, Three Kings is not a great picture, but it is a very good one, perhaps the first feature of merit to come out of the Gulf War. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Three Kings takes a comfortable proletarian view of Desert Storm. Owen Gleiberman-Entertainment Weekly Russell's edgy pacing here and the assorted styles he's adopted create an exciting, restless immediacy. Joe Baltake-Sacramento Bee Ultimately, instead of drawing us in, his swagger and the dazzle of his pyrotechnics keep us at a remove from the savagery. They become abstractions, too. Peter Rainer-New York Magazine The first Hollywood feature to take on the 1991 Gulf War, Three Kings does so in an impudently comic, stylistically aggressive and, finally, very thoughtful manner. Todd McCarthy-Variety One of Hollywood's few films about the Gulf War, David O. Russell's Three Kings is an original war feature that's effective as a social satire as well as political critique. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com Violent, liberal George Clooney Gulf War caper. Charles Cassady-Common Sense Media A hallucinatory near-masterpiece and one of the best American war films produced in the 1990s. Chris Cabin-Slant Magazine Ithis is a career making movie, then its writer/director David O. Russell who deserves the credit with this very creative effort from the debut filmmaker. Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons Three Kings mightn't be the best thought-out or most reassuring movie of the year, but the more I think about it, the more I'm sure that it is one of the best. Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette It's amazing how much action can be crammed into a movie about a war where most soldiers didn't actually see any action. Three Kings has its fair share of shootouts, none that are merely squeezed in for guilty pleasures. Every shot fired is motivated by c Radheyan Simonpillai-AskMen.com Far more intelligent and perceptive than most actioners, yet with enough thrills and spills to satisfy adrenaline junkies. -Film4 (The) screenplay abruptly changes tone after the first half-hour, eventually incorporating some genuinely harrowing sequences... The final picture becomes something noticeably deeper and smarter than its first reels suggest. James Sanford-Kalamazoo Gazette Worth watching. Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound With characters you can root for and a story that is both engaging and honest, Three Kings goes for the gold and comes out a winner. Gabriel Shanks-Mixed Reviews Keilich strikes a sweetly engaging balance between humor and pathos. Les Wright-culturevulture.net The last reel descends into a muddle of trade-offs, heroic about-turns and romanticised rebels, but this is defiant, provocative cinema; Russell may yet prove a film-maker to treasure. -Time Out An action movie with a conscience. Chris Gore-Film Threat Go see it for the effects, action and treasure hunt story, but enjoy the intelligence, too. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews It's an outrageous comedy and a challenging morality play, while at heart its a classic Western (set in an unlikely context). Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer Combinando humor e drama com talento, funciona como uma dura crítica à política belicista dos EUA - sendo tão (ou mais) relevante hoje em dia do que quando foi lançado. Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena The violence and profanity are there, but so is a sharp-edged political point of view, interesting characters and a plot enhanced with dark humor. Judith Egerton-Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)
