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.
