THREE KINGS

Absurdly comic, highly kinetic, at times shockingly emotional, Three Kings begins when the Gulf War is over. Amid the partying and confusion, fourAmerican soldiers (George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze), determined to take home more than sand fleas, go off into the Iraqi desert to find millions in stolen Kuwaiti bullion. They are plunged into the heart of a democratic uprising that spins the day and their lives out of control. David O. Russell's unique tapestry of humour, violence and history makes Three Kings - "Far more intelligent and perceptive than most actioners, yet with enough thrills and spills to satisfy adrenaline junkies."; Channel 4 Film.
