David O Russell's 'Three kings' (1999)

This was one action movie that I really liked, mainly because it had a lot of action and suspense. Don't get me wrong i still like films like 12 Angry men where all they do is talk, but this film entertained me much more than films like persona. This film mainly interested me I suppose mainly for its relevance in todays society even though the film is set in the first 'invasion' of Iran. Although on another side note this is a predictable Hollywood happy ending movie, and the ending where it recaps over what the solders are up to once they are released from the army is quite stupid and quite frankly did not need to be stated, i mean i did not need to know that Archie Gates became a weapons trainer for Hollywood movies. The thing i liked about this the most is that they help people more than they help themselves. Film wise the shots where alright but nothing really spectacular, same goes with the stunts once you have seen a helicopter shot down in flames you basically have seen them all unless they find a new camera angle in this case it did not. Design wise i think it was all pretty accurate and dressed reasonably well, but what was with the cow explosion and the bell noise when it clearly did not have a bell on??. as well as the weight of the gold, because if you know anything gold is extremely heavy, much heavier than what they make it out to be.
