The Men Who Stare at Goats online, Watch The Men Who Stare at Goats

Few cinematic pleasures are as sublime as George Clooney in full Clark Gable mode, as he is for much of the comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” His hair cropped to a metal-filings brush cut, with a full mustache to match, he cuts a figure similar to Gable when he was beginning to thicken and age so appealingly, his eyes a bit worn, but still aglint with mischief and magnetism.

Clooney’s gaze is aglint, too, except his character, Lyn Cassady, calls it “sparkly eyes,” a technique that’s part of his arsenal as one of a few groovy men trained by the U.S. Army to perfect their paranormal powers and develop a nonlethal form of warfare.

“More of this is true than you would believe,” reads an epigraph as “The Men Who Stare at Goats” opens. And for much of this genial if frustratingly shallow movie, viewers will no doubt be preoccupied by trying to figure out where real-life wackiness ends and artistic license begins.

Based on journalist Jon Ronson’s nonfiction book of the same name, the movie chronicles a 1970s military program in which an idealistic New Age-inspired officer trained a group of “warrior monks” in honing their transcendental skills to Jedi perfection; one of their exercises, as the title indicates, was to stare at a goat until it keeled over, kaput.
