"As goofy as the glint in George Clooney's eye, The Men Who Stare at Goats offers a terrific adaptation of the nonfiction book of the same name, one that chronicles U.S. "alternative warfare" programs. That is, military operations that explore psychic and paranormal techniques to sway the enemy. The title refers to a training regimen in which recruits practice toppling livestock - just by standing there, staring at the critters mightily. The opening credits card says it all: "More of this is true than you would believe."... 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. The film has been ably, affably directed by Grant Heslov, Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck writing collaborator." - Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer. Directed by Grant Heslov. Screenplay by Peter Straughan. Produced by George Clooney. With George Clooney, Lyn Cassady, Ewan McGregor, Bob Wilton, Jeff Bridges, Bill Django, Kevin Spacey and Larry Hooper. USA, 2009, MAPAA rating = R. Running time = 93 mins.
