The Men Who Stare at Goats
2009 (Grant Heslov) 14A, 90 min
Starring: Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey
The Men Who Stare at Goats, which purports to be based on a real U.S. military training program, follows reporter Bob Wilton (McGregor) as he accompanies one of these self-proclaimed Jedi knights (Clooney) on a mission into the desert to find the missing founder of the psychic training movement (Bridges). Director Grant Heslov shared an Oscar nomination for the screenplay of Good Night and Good Luck with Clooney in 2006. "The Men Who Stare at Goats has a glorious good time satirizing the extravagant lengths to which the military and intelligence establishments will go if they think there's a payoff at the other end," says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
