This movie deals with the end of the Gulf War. It's an action-adventure film that jumps back and forth between dark comedy and heavy-duty drama, and it does it very well.

I found this to have some fresh and new, interesting film making ideas about modern war and human brutality.

They took some time to develop the characters and makes for a big surprise for me, a real eye-catching, solid effort.

An odd mixture of dark humor and drama that attempts to drive home the horrors of post-war Iraq--too gritty for your average movie goer.

It doesn't seem to stay on one subject long enough for you to digest.

Confused and overly violent, this is a movie almost as pointless as its ending.

Three Kings is clearly not your standard, big studio, bloody warfare movie. It's a new kind of war film: a happy-go-lucky combat thrill coaster that jackknifes you right into the unstable center of scenes. The camera never stops hurtling you through bunkers and encampments. The pictures of gun battles are mostly in slow motion, so the effect of every bullet is felt, even showing the damage a bullet does as seen from inside the body.

The director's unconventional approach uses humor to undercut tension and emphasizes the human element.

In the end, the stars learn some hard truths about U.S. involvement in Kuwait.
