So Much for Wise Men: Three Kings
History has not been too kind to this flick. Although it was no doubt originally meant as a subtle attempt to encourage American military involvement in the Balkans back in the late 1990s, this film seems like a sick joke if you interpret it as an equally sincere plea to go back into Iraq and finish what the first Gulf War started. No doubt director David O. Russell and company meant well, but thanks to the Second Gulf War, their good intentions seem kinda questionable nowadays.
Besides, you know what they say about where good intentions lead -- and what kind of roads use them as paving stones.
