Why?

Rating: 2/10 (15 November 2009)

"Burn after reading" multiplied by "The limits of control" and divided by "Syriana" + many other films.
Absurdism parading as humour and becoming an absurdity itself.
Lured by the star studded cast - George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey - one finds himself watching those stars floundering in a poor slap-sticky script.
It's alluded in the beginning of the film that they know something about the real mind control research and developments funded and conducted by the Government. And then they show this clownade. Upsetting.
Government bureaucracy (not unlike in "Burn after reading" ) may and needs to be scrutinized and criticized, but just making mindless and awkward fun of it isn't really worth the effort.
