The Men Who Stare at Goats

I usually like George Clooney movies, but this one failed for me. I don't even know if this could have been a good movie. The acting is good, the plot interesting, but in the end just not entertaining.

I would say take a pass on this movie and watch Fantastic Mr Fox or Up in the Air. Those movies are much better and definitely enjoyable.

Netflix Summary:




Journalist Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) latches onto an unbelievable story in Iraq when he meets Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), a man of mysterious origins who reveals he was a "warrior monk" trained by the U.S. Army to develop psychic powers. Jeff Bridges co-stars as Lyn's mentor, the man who dreamed up the top-secret operation. Kevin Spacey and Rebecca Mader co-star in this Grant Heslov-helmed wild spoof.

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