“The Men Who Stare at Goats” is a comic story of a young Michigan reporter, Bob Wilton, played by Ewan McGregor who finds himself in a desperate need for new adventure. He is soon taken through the Middle East with psychic army veteran, Lyn Cassidy, played by George Clooney. Cassidy takes Wilton on an epic journey where he meets eccentric comrades, Bill Django (Jeff Bridges), and Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey). Although a great plot with a remarkable cast, the movie doesn’t live up to its potential. Fortunately for those who haven’t seen the movie, all the best sequences can be viewed in the trailer.
I don't know what to think about this movie. I didn't see it yet but our class had such mixed reviews, and it looks like such an all-star cast too!
ReplyDeleteIt was an all-star cast. I think that's why I was let down. The writing just wasn't on par with the acting. I'd be curious as to what you think if you see it, Jess.
