Movie Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats

I was expecting so much more from this movie. It had it everything to offer - a great cast, an interesting yet vague premise - but it just didn't deliver.
The movie makes references to The Clock Work Orange and military sanctioned LSD experiments, then attempts to bring in issues of civilian contractors in war zones.  George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges gave good performances and portrayed interesting characters,. However, I found Ewan McGregor's character to be whiny.

Maybe I missed something, but this movie just didn't do it for me.
