Three Kings on DVD

Staring: George Clooney Mark Wahlberg Ice Cube

Director: David O. Russell

'In a war without heroes there are kings'...

George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube are the "Three Kings". They are American soldiers based in the Iraq desert, with operation Desert storm, it is the end of the Gulf war, and they want to go home with something more than just sand fleas...

After a night of partying and celebrating they find a map that they believe will take them to a huge stash of Saddam Hussein's gold in some secret bunkers, they set out for the remote desert location in only a Hummer, in which they have a close encounter with a cow on their way to the gold.

All does not go to plan and, while the war is officially over, the remnants of it continue to follow them and their once simple plan turns into a journey that drastically changes their own lives and the lives of many others. Including an over curious female, American, journalist who’s efforts to get a headlining story lead her to be in the middle of the kings battle for the gold.

Special effects, especially huge explosions, play a major part in this movie, as do the trigger-happy fight scenes.
