I watched this movie after watching the Hollywood Reporter's Director's round table with David O Russell, Quintin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, etc (highly recommend) and was incredibly surprised that I hadn't seen this film before. It has the humour of George Clooney's, The Monuments Men, yet the historical context of a very real issue that faced Iraq in the late 1990's. I love Mark Wahlberg now and in his early years and his performance stood up to my expectations. The outlandish series of events that happens to the protagonists leaves you laughing in your seat without being overbearing. Ice Cube plays his usual comedic relief character and rounds out the cast wonderfully.
