Kings Of The Castle Reviewed by Adam Matthews
Most good war films are sometimes hard to watch. The relentlessness of bloody images being thrown at the viewer are sometimes too much, but ultimately it is these realistic images that make the audience appreciate the film all the more. War films are never easy and are hardly ever entertaining in the real sense of the word. Sure they are well made and appreciated, but you would never see them too have a good time. It's is a good thing then that Three Kings is not a war movie. Ignore the front cover on the video when you rent this incredibly entertaining film from your video store. The fact that Mark Wahlberg, George Clooney and Ice Cube are in military fatigues walking through the Kuwaiti Desert is of little relevance. The Gulf War setting merely provides the backdrop for the excellent storyline too develop. Would you take the money and run or would you stay to help those in need. That is the question before the main characters (Clooney, Wahlberg and Cube [That is his last name isn't it?]) and the journey they embark on is as enthralling as they come. There is no stand out performance from the cast, instead all members, even the bit players, are outstanding. The ending will leave you thinking (not in any serious way; when you see the movie you will know what I mean) and whilst it may be "sugar-coated", even a little predictable, ultimately it works very well. The film is slick, thanks mainly to the direction of David O. Russell and quite simply is the best movie released last year. Many will argue but no other movie released last year provides the entertainment that Three Kings does. Rating: ***** (Note: This review is intentionally short so as not to delay you from renting Three Kings)
