Shocked at how many times I almost cried during this movie! Especially shocked that Mark Wahlberg was the one that got me closest! I'll never forgive him for this. His greatest transgression. Everything I'd wanna say was said by this review!
I decided to move this up to a full five-star rating because there's really nothing I can think of that I don't love about it. It's not an absolutely perfect film, but in terms of fantastic performances, cinematography, score, editing, pacing and the perfect blend of action/comedy/drama; it's an exceptional one where no faults have any effect on my overall experience with it.
Set in the immediate aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, the film follows a group of four American soldiers who discover a map leading to a hidden cache of stolen Kuwaiti gold near their base.
The film was directed by David O. Russell and released in 1999.
It is a dark comedy that blends satirical political commentary with war and action elements.
