Three Kings

2-18-10

What a mix of desperate elements Three Kings is. It has elements of dark comedy...much of said comedy is at the expense of the U.S. Government/Military and its said policies. Suffice to say the film is extremely critical of U.S. foreign policy. As such it's also a moral film almost to the point of coming off righteous. There are also quite a few well orchestrated action scenes. Add on top of all that extremely stylized cinematography (there was actually a disclaimer on my 2001 edition DVD regarding said cinematography) and you end up with a film that could easily polarize audiences. The fact is that to my way of thinking all of the afore mentioned elements come together quite nicely to form what is ultimately a rather singular and entertaining film that makes you think.
