The Men Who Stare At Goats by Grant Heslov, 2009


George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Lang, Robert Patrick, Waleed Zuaiter, Stephen Root, Glenn Morshower, Rebecca Mader, Nick Offerman

"A reporter, trying to lose himself in the romance of war after his marriage fails, gets more than he bargains for when he meets a special forces agent who reveals the existence of a secret, psychic military unit whose goal is to end war as we know it. The founder of the unit has gone missing and the trail leads to another psychic soldier who has distorted the mission to serve his own ends." IMDB

The most delirious movie I watched since a very long time. Not quite sure what was its point. The humor is excellent during the first half of the movie. Unfortunately, I interrupted the watching to watch "The secret in their eyes" and then kept on with that one and got disillusioned totally about the level of the movie. And the cast is great but still... Something too much, or perhaps not enough. It is memorable for some scenes and dialogues. Maybe in ten years, we'll still be saying "Cloud bursting", "We can't afford to have the Russian's leading the field in the paranormal."...
