If Three Kings hit the spot, these will too

The same mix in both: momentum, then wit

Both keep coming back to the same thing: kuwait
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

Two things both keep coming back to: gulf war and soldier
The difference: None of the momentum Three Kings is built on

Action with a pulse of play, in both cases
The difference: Not nearly as bleak as Three Kings

Both are built on the same subject: soldier
The difference: Sits closer to history than Three Kings does

Bleak comedy in both cases

The same two preoccupations: iraq, and u.s. soldier

War built on momentum, twice over

Witty action, and it commits to that

Both lean on play more than on comedy
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft


Both lean on momentum more than on action
In the mood for more kinetic?
