Muh wife and I sat down recently and watched one of my favorite "never seen before" movies.
It is entitled "THREE KINGS"
George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube star in "Three Kings," the story of a small group of adventurous American soldiers in Iraq at the end of the Gulf War who are determined to steal a huge cache of gold reputed to be hidden somewhere near their desert base. Finding a map they believe will take them to the gold, they embark on a journey that leads to unexpected discoveries, enabling them to rise to a heroic challenge that drastically changes their lives.
The movie takes some twists and turns that make you feel for every single person that you come across -- even those that are in Saddam's army. IT is a rivetting film that makes you laugh, cringe, and most importantly, think.
I find the movie even more relevant after seeing the second Gulf War take place. The film maker David Russell (who wrote and directed and didn't make another movie until the quirky I HEART HUCKABEES) seems to have an agenda but then turns it around so you are still not quite sue where he stands. But one thing is clear... he does show his belief that war is hell...on everyone.
I recommend this uniquely filmed and written film to everyone. It is great.
