The Men Who Stare at Goats

Why exactly are men staring at goats, you may well ask. To make them fall over, of course. And so a very strange (and supposedly semi-truthful) story is born…

Supposedly the US government sanctioned the creation of a small group of men to investigate paranormal warfare back in the 80s. Which is where the goat staring comes in. You see, if you can get a goat to fall over just by staring at it, it follows that you can kill a man with the sheer force of your mind. Yeah, right.

As you can tell, the film really stretches the bounds of believability and must be taken with the intended pinch of salt, and tongue pressed firmly against cheek. In fact, if it weren’t for the brilliant George Clooney and a host of other wonderful actors, you might not even bother watching it. Odd. Very odd.

Rating: 3 outta 5
