Three Kings, success that was not recognized

The link provided gives the reader a critical insight into the film Three Kings as well as information about the success of the film and the director David O Russell. A notable point of this link is that the writer claims the film as being one of the best in the year it was released, yet the academy awards failed to recognize it. The writer argues that the director David O Russell took a different approach from his usual comedy films and his end result was a film with a brain and a heart behind it. He further argues that while Three Kings is serious anti war film that makes you think, the director successfully manages to intertwine aspects of comedy to it. The writer ends the article with a small DVD review and a TV Guide review.
Here are some quotes

Russell never shies away from making us confront such ugly aspects of war, even going so far as taking the camera into the human body to show what happens
when someone is shot.

But as entertaining as the witty dialogue and edge-of-your-seat action sequences are, Three Kings expects you do something you may not be accustomed to doing while watching your average Hollywood film. It expects you to think.
