The Men Who Stare at Goats

Starring: George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, Ewan McGregor Review: It's hard to resist a satire, even when it wobbles, that insists the most unbelievable parts are the most true. If you always thought the men who run U.S. military intelligence are wack jobs, here's the farce to prove it. Michigan journalist Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), reporting in Iraq circa 2003, stumbles on a story that dates back to the 1980s, when the government organized a secret unit of psychic warriors devoted to achieving peace through telepathy. These men can stare a goat down till its heart stops. And that's just for starters. Watch them try to walk through walls and read the minds of their foes. Watch Peter Travers review The Men Who Stare At Goats on "At the Movies with Peter Travers" Bob's source is Lyn Cassady, hilariously played by George Clooney... Rating: 3 Stars (link)
