Men who fight not with weapons, but with their minds.

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2010)

There apparently was a "New Age Army" back in the 1983, and they apparently did have a Psychops (psychological operations) branch, but this movie is based on a book, and while the main characters are based on real soldiers, I have to believe it is mostly a work of fiction.
Scotsman Ewan McGregor is an American writer, Bob Wilton. He is in Kuwait searching a story when he meets George Clooney as Lyn Cassady. He remembered the name from some interviews he did with a former Psychops member, and they started their modern day (2003) journey.
The movie has some interesting, and laugh-out-loud, moments, but overall is disjointed and seemingly random, and comes down to a series of episodes of the strange things these men apparently did. Then when you get to the end (spoilers below) you wonder what the purpose is.
It also features Jeff Bridges as Bill Django and Kevin Spacey as Larry Hooper, both former members of the Psychops operation, but now (2003) involved in some non-military operations.
SPOILER: Bob Wilton ends up getting his story, and NBC does a spot. But the only thing that appears (the real Ann Curry simulating a news cast) is that certain captives are tortured by forcing them to listen to a certain children's song for 24 hours straight. Back in the office Bob, inspired by being with Cassady all those weeks and hearing what they could do, decided he would run through the wall and into the next office, and he does! Somehow he just passes through it. I have no idea what to make of that ending, it is whimsical for sure, but so what??
