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
B+
"A brave film."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
B-
"Kind of cynical, really -- but maybe that's what a '90s film about a '90s war should be."

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
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

John J. Puccio
10/10
"This unusual blend of comedy and carnage constantly catches you by surprise, creating a visceral experience that is hard to beat."
Light Views
John Larsen
"There is a shootout that may even be cooler than Keanu dodging bullets in slow motion in
The Matrix
."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
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

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
3/4
"[An] ironic, thoughtful film about war, freedom, and greed."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
5/5
"Among the best war movies ever made."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"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

"One of the most entertaining war movies of the past 20 years."
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
