Title: Didn't Deliver,sorry!
Review: Great premise, great cast but didn't achieve greatness. The premise of many zany govt military conspiracy-plots being illuminated in one film, mated w/ pop culture/ urban legends is worthy of a film and fair game. Why not mix every Area 51-ESP-Astral Projection-Black Ops rumor into a movie then add supernatural comic book ideas? (Dim Mak death touch, walking thru walls etc).The real problem w/ trying to make an intelligent satirical movie is that folks who will understand intelligent satirical movies don't watch movies. Wry, crisp satire can burn a hole thru a book's pages but in a film it can fall flat. Super clever jokes often aren't sight gags and movies are visually dependent. George Clooney is a great actor who tries to make films of value; the intent was there but the vehicle failed. It reminds me of "Syriana" great premise, a lot of effort but it failed under it's own well intentioned weight.sorry,
