Thriller War Mlovie that never Was but be Goat-ed and Watch It!

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2009)

This is a very subtle comedy/drama and I had to watch it a couple of times to get the hang of it and make my mind up. the 'goats' thing is explained halfway through the movie and the film is generally a send-up of American forces being utilized overseas and particularly Iraq. Clooney is head and shoulders above everybody else in this film, I am sorry, Ewan McGregor doesn't deliver here and kevin spacey only has a light role to play.
Is it true that the US Army use goats for secret testing and instead of dogs or monkeys? it was actually another film about redemption and exploring 'creative solutions to the war on terrorism'.
its funny but you can see Clooneys character from Burn after Reading in this and ironically get the drift also of how Brad Pitt transferred the humour from the same movie to Inglorious Basterds, a sort of film triangle.
there were some very clever spoken lines in this movie and overall the film entertains, the breakfast poisoning of the water and eggs was very funny.
the Jedai Warriors was added for fun in the same way that Brad Pitts men in Inglorious Basterds were similarly titled for their warfare success by reputation.
the story of the film is not great (is there one really?) but it doesn't matter. Wont win any major awards but you will surely like the movie.
Didn't really get the connection of showing Clooney potentially with cancer and what was 'the Denmark' thing? enjoy and await the call of the US Army if you are a broken hearted journalist or a psychic or a New Age Army guy ready to enrol!
