" A dark comedic look, at the Iraq War with George Clooney, Spike Jonez, Ice Cube, and Mark Wahlberg who discover a secret stash of gold, and debate on what to do with it. And then they have to work to find their best friend, and fellow soldier who has been kidnapped. It was also, one of the first films, other than Courage Under Fire to directly be about the Guif War, years after it ended."
