Men Who Stare At Goats' Review

Man, what did Clooney stumble into again. This movie is about a group of "psychic" soldiers who believe that they can pass through solid walls and even kill a goat just by staring at it. Jeff Bridges plays as Bill Django, who was a wounded Vietnam Veteran that believed he could recruit his own soldiers and teach them love, peace, and harmony in time of war and hate. George Clooney, in the movie, happens to be one of the his best students. Whereas Kevin Spacey plays as the evil student who was always jealous over Clooney's capability in psychic powers. Ewan McGregor plays as the journalist who found Clooney on his retreat away from a broken marriage, which was when the mission started - find the missing Lieutenant Bill Django. McGregor and Clooney tried their best to be funny in this film, which they succeeded halfway through. However, I started yawning throughout the other half of the movie, getting bored by the comical performance of Clooney. But complaining that the movie should end sooner would be unethical for me since the movie only lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes. The dialogue was somehow interesting and the jokes where mostly brilliant which makes Men Who Stare At Goats a good break from Paranormal Activity, if you want to ease your brain a little.

Overall: 5.4 / 10
