This article written by Jeff Vice of deseretnews.com starts off by explaining that the dark comic war film Three Kings has the potential to be a "political fire starter," and surprisingly a thought-provoking war film. This is unexpected because the filmmaker of Three Kings, David O. Russell's previous works had more to do with relationships than with action sequences.
The article continues with a brief review of the movie while introducing the main characters and the plot. Vice then notes how Russell mixes the effect of the "shaky cam" and bleached out photography that adds to the film. He gives the actors in the film two thumbs up, especially Wahlberg, saying that he gives the film a certain "warm human conscience."
