Nice appetizing photo shots of what goes on inside of chest cavities when
riddled by bullets; e.g., oozing septic bile and so forth. Wondered for
a second if the director was making a war movie or a medical educational
film. Glad I remembered to bring my barf bag! The slow-mo bullet effects
looked neat, but the scene where the Iraqi soldier blew the Iraqi woman's
brains out in front of her husband and daughter was probably the most
emotionally powerful one of the whole film; reminded me of the infamous REAL-LIFE scene on the streets of Saigon when the police chief
blew the VC dude's brains out; wonder if the scripter had that in mind
when he or she conceived the Iraqi bloodspurter?
I too found the wound anatomy class distracting and out of place in the film. Reminded me of a cheesy Sonny Chiba martial arts film ("Streetfighter"?) which showed x-ray stills of broken bones spliced into scenes of Sonny breaking them in his victims. It also reminded me of the bullet travel p.o.v. effects in Tsui Hark's abysmal "Knock Off" (my pick for worst film of 1998).As for the woman's execution scene, I was thinking of the real-life Vietnam incident as well. But given the young age of "Three Kings" director, I think he may have gotten the scene from Oliver Stone's "Platoon" or any of the hundred or so other films featuring a point-blank pistol execution.
