I wanted to watch this movie because very few movies were made about this war. Very little was known about it and many things were masked by the media. It was one of the few movies that shows that not only the US army is right and the 'enemies' or the opponents are simply a bunch bad and clumsy soldiers. This is the usual trend regardless of whether the enemies are Germans , Russians, Arabs or Vietnamese. In this movie there was an encounter between four American soldiers and Iraqis that belong to several groups. It was clearly shown in which bad conditions the people are living under suppression and in a destroyed country. It was also the first encounter of these American soldiers with war at all since they were sitting in their camps waiting that the air raids and the other allied forces finish the job. Many mistakes of this war were shortly mentioned in smart short commentaries like mentioning burying the Iraqi soldiers alive in their barricades with bulldozers. In fact many dialogs and statements met some sensible issues of this war like bombarding civilians. It demonstrated as well what a bullet can do to the human body and that it is not only a game! It showed the Americans, the Iraqi soldiers and the population of south Iraq as human beings with their strengths and weaknesses. Nevertheless one can not expect a Hollywood movie to be completely non-hollywoodic. For instance the end of the movie was rather "traditional". Also the American soldiers can shoot better than the Iraqis although the latter ones are members of the elite troops. The movie had even humor in some scenes although sometimes one doesn't know whether one should laugh or cry! The photography was very good and it served its purpose efficiently. Special photographic effects were used like altering the contrasts , the brightness and the graininess of the pictures scenes to enhance their beauty. The music was also generally well chosen and fitted good. In my opinion there was nothing special about the acting performance of the main characters. In general the roles of the Arabs were more convincing or let us say more natural. I am still asking myself why does this movie have this name? Although they were four soldiers only three are mentioned. Is this a similar case like the 'Three musketeers'? Does it have anything to do with the three kings of the new testament? It is maybe like this since they gave a big gift to a group of poor refugees at the end of the movie. Some other comments suggested nominating this movie for the academy award. Well I think it is too good to win an academy award!
