Uncanny And Bizarre

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2010)

Reviewing "The Men Who Stare At Goats" Is As Strange As The Title And The Movie Itself. A Short Film At About 85 Minutes, By The Time The Movie Ends, I Was Bewildered. Because I Couldn't Make Out The Whole Context Of The Movie. Whether It Was A Journey Of The Narrator (Ewan McGregor) Discovering Himself Or The Growing Violence And Chaos In The World Or The Need Of Peace And Love Instead Of Guns And Bombs, I Was Not Clear. All I Can Say Is That This Movie Is Understandable (That's Not Why I Was Confused) And Hilarious at Instant, But It's The Strange Uncanny Script That Would Leave You Feeling Dazed!!!
The Casting Is Very Unusual But Each One Of Them Has Significant Role Throughout. Jeff Bridges Is Hilarious And Unearthly As The Revolutionary Military Guru, George Clooney As Shrewd As Ever And Ewan McGregor Deliver A Very Good Performance Too. Kevin Spacey Also Makes His Presence Felt In His Brief Appearance. The Direction Is Praiseworthy Considering Such Big Lead Names And As I Said, The Unusual Script. The Backdrop Is Mostly Hot And Humid Desert Rendering A War Like Outlook To The Movie.
Overall, Watch The Movie If You Like To Be Amused. It's Not a Boring Movie and the Comic Moments Will Really Make You Laugh out Aloud. The Movie Is Very Singular In Its Experience. My Verdict: 6/10
