Three Kings -By Scott Weinberg

I found this article through the popular site rottentomatoes.com. In it Weinberg is critical of how the director David O. Russell presents the film to the audience. He looks at the film from both an entertainment and scholarly point of view. He examines the themes that lay beneath the surface of the film, such as "patriotism, bravery and simple morality".
Weinberg even includes a small formalist analysis in the review :

"David O. Russell pulls out all his tricks, and a few of them are dazzling. While many of the standout scenes are of course action sequences, there are many ‘smaller’ scenes done seemingly with 8mm, distorted visions and bizarre camera angles. A particular standout is a rather visceral depiction how a bullet can infect ones bloodstream. There’s also a scene in which Wahlberg’s character is tied to a chair"

While this article is a review, I believe that it contains elements of many different types of analysis, including the formalist approach that I made mention of above.
