Three Kings 1999 movie. ::no spoilers::

G. Clooney, M.Wahlberg and Ice Cube.
I caught the last 1/3 on a cable channel 6 ish yrs back & enjoyed what I saw. The DVD was in a bin at the store for $1.99, so it came home with me. It's a heist film set @ the end of the 1st Gulf War, 4 American soldiers are trying to steal some of the gold bullion Saddam stole from Kuwait. I'm enjoying it so far.

And although my unit didn't see any combat, I think the film captured the atmosphere of the film, physically and emotionally, very well.

I liked how the outdoor scenes were over exposed so you really felt the hotness and brightness of the desert.
