Inspired by the true story, the movie is about operation of the military to create super marine who has psychic ability like walking through walls, reading mines, finding lost things and many more. It all begins with Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), a journalist, who wants to show his wife bravery by going to IRAQ to cover the war yet accidentally meet a guy name Lyn Cassady (George Clooney) who he knew from the previous interviewee that Lyn is a psychic marine. Instead going for the war news, Bob then follows Lyn to gather more information about the secret operation which first he thought it was some sort crazy stuff made up by insane past interviewee. Bob then follow him to anywhere Lyn wants to go and later ends up in the military camp where the psychic research is being conducted to a newer level than before.
During the adventure, some funny scene can be found but not as hilarious like many other comedy movie. Quite disappointing for me, as I thought it would be very funny like the trailer but alluring enough to keep me watching hoping for the story to get better soon. However, fact doesn't say so. The story getting weirder towards the end, the totally awkward plot really let me down which I feel that I have been cheated by the title shown in the beginning of the movie "More of this is true than you would believe". The project psychic is really there and one of the sources, the movie heavily fictionalised it making it unbelievable. Yet at least, the funny dialogue and scene is not corny and George Clooney act is entertaining enough.
For those who are going to watch this movie, hmmm..., I have nothing to say. People have different taste. You might come out loving this movie but for me its a NO NO.
Received 6.6 in imdb and 54% in rotten tomatoes.
Here is the trailer have a taste on it!
