“It's good to be king.”
David O. Russell's "Three Kings" unfurls a cynical, chaotic narrative set in the aftermath of the Gulf War, where a quartet of American soldiers, disillusioned and restless, uncover a map hinting at a fortune in Kuwaiti gold. Their illicit quest through Iraqi desert landscapes and the moral murkiness of wartime profiteering tests their loyalty and complicity, weaving a tale of greed, betrayal, and the absurdities of modern conflict.
