Title: The real thing
Product review: Ostensibly a humorous action movie, "Three Kings" is actually a savvy and sophisticated exploration of what exactly was happening during Operation Desert Storm. For those who haven't yet figured it out, the alleged liberation of a formerly and presently undemocratic fiefdom was somewhat less important than re-stabilizing the entire region in order to safeguard the continued flow of cheap oil to the West. While most of us hopefully don't need a movie to help us out with this, it's nonetheless very refreshing to see such issues even being addressed within the medium of mainstream entertainment. Hats off to director David Russell for confronting us with the disgusting realities of this woefully under-examined war.
