Superb, lunatic fun

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2010)

A gaunt-looking George Clooney as a delectably whacked-out and washed-up psychic warrior! Jeff Bridges as a hippie peacenik army colonel! Kevin Spacey doing a predictably convincing turn as a sinister Machiavelli! Goats falling over! One of those movies that is decidedly greater than the sum of its parts. Just let it wash over you, and marvel at the delightfully subtle touch surrounding the central question of the film: superhumans or complete nutters. I left the movie theatre with a huge grin on my face.
Ewen McGregor sports his customarily appalling American accent. And that is the only thing I can say against this film.
