a5c7b9f00b In the days immediately after the Gulf War, a group of American soldiers come across a secret Iraqi map, which discloses the whereabouts of a bunker where Iraq is storing stolen gold and treasure from Kuwait. The soldiers hope to take the gold and keep it for themselves. However, when they arrive at the site, they discover that the Iraqi army is more concerned about persecuting its civilians than stopping them from stealing the gold. They learn that the civilians have been encouraged by the U.S. government to rise up and fight Sadaam Hussein, but are facing certain execution because the U.S. military refuses to help them. This incident creates a crisis of conscience for the American soldiers. Do they take the money and run, leaving the civilians to face certain death at the hands of the Iraqi army? Or do they risk losing the gold in order to escort them to safety across the border into Iran?
In the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War, four soldiers set out to steal gold that was stolen from Kuwait, but they discover people who desperately need their help.
After seeing the commercials/trailers for this film and hearing the buzz (rumors of Oscar talk) , this movie had become a must see. I wasn't sure where the Oscar talk fit in to a film that looked like a buddy action flick set during the Gulf War. However, the cast does a wonderful job. Spike Jones was wrong, he does deserve to be among this cast. He steals the show in most scenes and is extremely entertaining. The comedy factor in this movie is high but so is the creativity and drama. Anyone expecting nonstop action, well wait for Universal Soldier 3. This movie touches on an element that is left out of most pictures made today and that is the human element . Each character is, well, human. They don't think alike, they don't act alike, they don't act as one. The movie makes use of some interesting "perspective shots" which sometimes amaze and at the same time repulse the crowd (that is what it is used for, so it isn't a bad thing). David Russel and company did a wonderful job on not only making this movie believeable but kept it entertaining. That is what movies are all about.
Three Kings is the story of U.S. soldiers (four, actually) in Kuwait during the closing moments of the Persian Gulf War who stumble upon a map presuming to lead to gold bullion that&#39;s stored in Saddam Hussein&#39;s bunker. Knowing the gold has been seized by Iraqi forces, making it war booty, and knowing that the Iraqis have recently surrendered, the four soldiers decide to take it for themselves in what seems to be a rather simple pickup. Led by Major Archie Gates (George Clooney, all grit, guts, and gleaming teeth), the group manages to infiltrate not one but two Iraqi bunkers in search of the gold. There&#39;s one problem however: Iraqi forces, already defeated by U.S. troops, have decided to take out their aggressions on their own citizens, and as our boys are leaving the village with the gold, Iraqi soldiers kill a few of the peasants. All hell breaks loose, and before you know it, several soldiers are dead and the peace treaty has been broken. An equal parts suspense thriller, war movie, and comedy, Three Kings never lets the viewer get too comfortable with the situation. You can&#39;t just settle in and figure this is another war movie, as the twists in John Ridley&#39;s story keep your mind moving. And to throw you off even more, there are some genuinely funny moments (such as when one Iraqi asks a U.S. soldier what Michael Jackson&#39;s deal is). To top it all off, this might be the first - and probably not the last - movie in history to show graphically what happens when a bullet enters a human body. That scene, while certainly not for the squeamish, nearly is worth the price of admission itself. Clooney is a rock as the leader, a man with shady intentions but with an otherwise impeccable conscience. After his group helps the peasants when they could have easily just left with the cache, with tragic consequences, Gates admits he may have made a bad decision, a true sign of humanity. This isn&#39;t some Napoleon suffering from overweening pride; this is a stolid soldier with blood on his hands, blood he knows he put there himself.<br/><br/> As the young soldier with a young wife and a young child back home, Mark Wahlberg is appealing, a thoughtful soldier not prone to testosterone excess. He appears to be the smartest in the group, lacking only Gates&#39; experience. One suspects that if Wahlberg&#39;s Troy Barlow were to stay in the military, he quickly would be promoted to a leadership capacity. But like many things in this movie, Barlow&#39;s character can&#39;t be painted with broad strokes. It takes a skilled actor to play such a layered character, and Wahlberg pulls the feat off. He&#39;s supported by Ice Cube as the tough Chief. Cube, one of the few rappers who can actually act, is also appealing, although his character lacks the intelligence (at times) of Barlow and the experience and leadership of Gates. The action here rarely pauses; it certainly doesn&#39;t pause long enough you to get too comfortable with it or to be able to predict what&#39;ll happen next. The direction is very well-paced; David O. Russell (who directed such comedies as Flirting with Disaster and Spanking the Monkey) does an admirable job blending aspects of a comedy, drama, war movie, and suspense thriller.
A daring, teeth-grinding experience that doesn't let the viewer rest easy.
Yes. The incident was the result of the ongoing animosity between Clooney and Russell coming to a head. George Clooney claims a fight started between Russell and himself after he had witnessed the director shove an extra to the ground. Clooney had previously confronted Russell over his alleged harsh behavior towards extras on set, including ignoring a woman who suffered a seizure while he set up a shot. However, some witnesses claim that Russell was actually demonstrating how he wanted someone to be thrown to the ground in rehearsal, and that Clooney had blown the incident out of proportion.<br/><br/>These incidents are further chronicled in the book &quot;Rebels on the Backlot&quot; by Sharon Waxman. He was praying to Jesus, they were praying to Allah.
