The Men Who Stare at Goats
“No goats. No glory.”
ComedyWar
A reporter in Iraq might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady, a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army's New Earth Army, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.
VIBE
This film feels like a sun-baked, desert-set fever dream. It's a journey through the fringes of military lore, blending deadpan humor with a disorienting, almost psychedelic strangeness. Expect a quirky, satirical take on belief, power, and the absurdities of human endeavor, all wrapped in a surprisingly engaging, off-kilter adventure.
