(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1   "A war movie that's both exhilarating and hard to watch, a movie that might make you reconsider what you think you know."   Philadelphia City Paper   Cynthia Fuchs 8/10 "Three Kings is the rarest sort of action movie. It offers the expected adrenaline jolt, but it also has a surprising amount of heart and intelligence."   Lybarger Links   Dan Lybarger 3.5/4 "What we have here is not just a surprisingly proficient action picture, but also an enlightening and touching human drama that hits the heart in more ways than one."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "Ultimately it's the director's confidence behind the camera that makes Three Kings a powerful piece of filmmaking -- as dry, bleak, and brutal as the barren Iraqi desert."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth B+ "A brave film."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "Although imperfect, Three Kings has enough vigor and intelligence to satisfy both audiences that prefer action, and those that enjoy more thought-provoking fare."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "Kind of cynical, really -- but maybe that's what a '90s film about a '90s war should be."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 10/10 "One of the very best films I've seen this year."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "Three Kings spits in the face of war and salutes creative compassion as a healing balm. "   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "With characters you can root for and a story that is both engaging and honest, Three Kings goes for the gold and comes out a winner."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 3/4 "Interesting and occasionally exhilarating."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "a quirky, surrealistic examination of war that breaks every conceivable genre boundary"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4.5/5 "Gulf War action-drama with heart, brains and guts falls just short of greatness."   Netflix   James Rocchi "Constantly engaging and mostly manages to hold one's interest throughout."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "It's got a style, a feel, a unique look, unlike any of those other murky combat flicks."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 3/4 "Worth watching."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 7/10 "I recommend the film for its unusual, high-rev style and its often bizarre sense of humor."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 5/5 "Each and every character in this movie was memorable from the dingbat reporter to the little Iraqi girl."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/4 "A rare blend of breath-taking action and thoughtful writing, and easily one of the best movies of 1999."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 10/10 "An astonishing movie that keeps you off-balance from the first scene."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh high +2 out of -4..+4 "Three Kings may not be a pleasant film to watch, but it is intelligent and certainly has to be the best film about the Persian Gulf War yet."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "[An] ironic, thoughtful film about war, freedom, and greed."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "Visually dazzling and emotionally unsettling, this is a new brand of war movie."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "A studio picture uncommon in its unique sensibility and personality."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 5/5 "Among the best war movies ever made."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "I was engrossed in the movie from start to finish because it's the kind of picture where you never know what's going to happen next."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 10/10 "I really have no idea if the premise of the film is historically correct, but I don't think it matters. One thing for sure is that war, in this case, the aftermath of war, is hell and this movie makes a strong case for that truism."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A- "Go see it for the effects, action and treasure hunt story, but enjoy the intelligence, too."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "The film has the glamour of a Hollywood blockbuster (not to mention A-list actors) and the drive of an independent; Three Kings is thus the cumulative marriage of the two."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Rumsey Taylor 10/10 "One of the most entertaining war movies of the past 20 years."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 8/10 "An astute blend of action/adventure, drama, humor, and scathing political commentary."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 10/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 100% Fresh Page   1
