Now, the founder of the unit has gone missing and the trail leads to another psychic soldier who has distorted the mission to serve his own ends.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

not great, not bad submitted by manz on August 12, 2010, 12:27pm This movie was kind of crazy in a laid back way. I kind of liked it. The scenes with Ewan McGregor and George Clooney in the dessert are funny, and I was amused that Ewan McGregor was a Jedi yet again. I firmly believe that Jeff Bridges stole the show as a hippie drill sargeant of sorts... (Hippie, I know, SHOCKER, right?!)

It wasn't awesome, but it was interesting. Put it on while you're working on other things.

Wacky submitted by ferielp on June 19, 2017, 10:57am This was hilarious, more so because it is rooted in an absurd truth about fringe military trials.

TMWSAG submitted by a2sue on July 26, 2017, 9:01am The Men Who Stare At Goats was not very good at all.

Funny submitted by c_zhang on June 29, 2019, 12:59pm It wasn't the best film, but it was funny at least.

Strange submitted by Clown81 on July 27, 2019, 9:32pm This movie was strange. It's crazy how this man can kill a goat by staring at it.
