The Men Who Stare At Goats

The title encapsulates the essence of this movie, WTF! I mean really how random does this sound, and the movie doesn't disappoint when going in with a mindset of anything is possible. With a government sponsored army group of elite known as new earth army being part of the top secret 'project Jedi'. Yes this does make them Jedi warriors.

With an all star cast of George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor to name a few this mind bending experience takes part in the war zone of Iraq and without giving away too much more, things go wrong as would happen when two people that use their minds as weapons go against each other as foes.

This movie is filled with dark humour that may not wet every ones appetite but certainly does cause a few hearty chuckles throughout this amazing adventure when each next event is a absurd as the next. Clooney is a stand out in my mind but as an lover of film, one can't let the other three go by without a mention. They held their roles very well and for most this performance was the first as that kind of character.

If you enjoy movies that make you laugh at the absurdity of it all then this may just be for you and if the above doesn't tickle your fancy then you would be best to lift the bat and let it go through to the keeper as it wouldn't be a far cry to see how people didn't enjoy this desert drama.
