Struggling reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) gets the scoop of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), who claims to be from a unit of psychic soldiers who have been reactivated for duty. Intrigued by Cassady's assertions that they can walk through walls and kill goats by fixed gazes, Wilton follows him on a dangerous, top-secret mission across Iraq to find the brigade's founder, Bill Django (Jeff Bridges).

It's not going to be what you'd expect. The movie is wierd, it wanders around skirting the edge of reality all the way through. You don't know how much of it is true, or if any of it is, but there's enough to keep you wondering the entire time. Told in a very believable narrative of a man in as much disbelief as the audience. It really grounds the story, and brings an intelligence to the main character(the narrator) who would otherwise look like a complete moron for continuing on his adventure.
It's one of those "The movie in and of itself is the punchline" movies; everything that happens self-validates the film as a whole.
Could wait for it to come on TV, but you'd really miss out on laughing with your friends. It will really put you and whoever you're with in that hope filled inspired feeling.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.It seems there is no plot and even though it is billed as a comedy, nothing in this movie is funny.It feels like the movie is never going to end then when it does end I was not sure if it was over. No beginng and no end. Dennis

The movie had some dry parts, but overall it was fairly entertaining on what could have been a boring Friday night.
The dynamic between Clooney and McGregor was funny and well played. The two of them get into some of the craziest situations. In the end, the movie is really about the goats! Who knew the goats actually played a role in the movie (besides being put to death by the power of the stare).
