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."  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

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

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

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

"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

10/10
