3.5/4  War doesn't have to serious all of the time
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 natur... (read full)

3/4  Only film I know of that portrays first Gulf War
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... (read full)

1/4  Three Kings Quick Review
I never liked this film.

3/4  Three Kings Quick Review
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.

4/5 It's a heist with heart!
  by Joseph Nicholas (Florida, USA)
Three Kings
Fast moving movie set in the events of the 1991 Gulf War. American soldiers pursue an immense gold treasure and end up giving it away to help the innocent impoverished people. It's a heist with heart and reveals a little of the world American soldiers encountered in Iraq. I liked it.

I recommend my novel Devil's Verse

Devil's Verse: Natasha Azshatan Unlocks Ancient Mysteries, Reveals Secrets, And Wrestles With Demons As She Fights To Stay Alive

3/5 Moralism colliding with Comedy
  by Jean E. Pouliot (Newburyport, MA United States)
Set at the end of the first Gulf War, what started out as a great caper film got bogged down with cheap moralizing and maudlin touches. Three (our four, depending on how you count) soldiers find a map to treasure that the Iraqis have looted from Kuwait. Determined to grab their share of the loot, they take off on a cross-desert excursion. But soon they are face with Conscience-Awakening Situations -- in the shape of Iraqi townsfolk beset by the Saddam's rapacious Republican Guard. They must decide between keep the swag, or being good guys.

The film had great potential as a military black comedy. But like the more maudlin episode of MASH, it preferred to ascend the bunghole of its own self- righteousness. A disappointment.

5/5 Amazing
  by K. Cooper (Boulder, CO)
I really don't understand the people who don't get this movie. God forbid a war movie isn't about shooting and killing but about saving the people of the nation you've invaded. This film is true to life: it's dramatic, sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, and in the end is about people. Life seldom fits into a single category so why should film?

This is a film about four soldiers who choose to save the lives of refugees over money and military orders. It shows the desert storm conflict from all sides: the military, the enemy, and the innocents caught in the crossfire. For another great film about desert storm I recommend Jarhead by Sam Mendes.

5/5 Wow!!!
  by D. Kikuchi (Northeast USA)
I am not one who enjoys war movies to say the very least. I run in the opposite direction. This movie was on TV and I got sucked in and couldn't walk away, even during the commercials. It was incredible, believable, and very moving & inspiring. I absolutely recommend this movie to anyone (except young children of course). See it and you won't be the same after. It is awesome.

2/5 What kind of movie is it? I don't know.

It's not a war movie . Neither it's an action nor a comedy. There are a few funny scenes.
