Film: Three Kings (1999)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
Three Kings (Keepcase)

"Are we shooting?"
"What?"
"Are we shooting people or what?"

Review: Until this movie, George Clooney was all charisma and bad movie choices. He finally found the right project. I think that this is also the only good Gulf War movie made so far even though it really takes place right as the war ends. The Gulf War was so easy for the US Military that you really needed a film like this that goes off on a side adventure to capture some drama in it.

Favorite Scene: Troy Barlow calling home on the cellphone he finds while he is captured and awaiting interrogation. It was so surreal.
