Odyssey-themed works are always addicting, and "Three Kings" is the best among similar works in recent decades.

Whether it is a black railroad ferryman like a blind prophet, a ruthless sheriff who chases three people like death, or the magical pre-industrial southern American countryside, the author's chosen perspective takes us through this escape. The magic and beauty of the prison journey: a slightly playful, allegorical tone of religion. The interpretation of country ballads in the film is very commendable. Three rednecks and a black guitarist who sold their souls are finally redeemed because of their singing. Although similar plots are cliché, their excellent interpretation will still make people smile.

Out with old spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstition and the backward ways. We're gonna see a brave new world where they run everyone a wire and hook us all up to the grid. Yessir, a veritable age of reason - like they had in France. And not a moment too soon...
