***1/2 – A star-studded cast including George Clooney, Ewan MacGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges feature in this comedy based on the US military’s factual pursuit of ‘psychic warfare’ technology. The film was nicely shot and acted for the most part, with a minor exception in Ewan MacGregor’s less-than-convincing American accent. This one didn’t receive a whole lot of positive reviews, but it certainly had some funny parts, and I liked it despite the fact that the meandering story was kind of goofy and the comedy had some overly broad moments. The frequent Jedi references must have been pretty annoying for Ewan “Obi-Wan” MacGregor to put up with.
