Underrated - deserves 7+

Usually IMDB is reliable but this is one of those cases where the rating system falls short IMO.

Sure it was kind of a rambling narrative with no easy answers but the backstory of psychic experimentation by the U.S. military is a fascinating real life history. Plus you have George Clooney, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges in the same film.

Also the final scene without giving it away was awesome. A good ending really makes or breaks a film IMO.

This really deserves a 7.0 of higher, not a lowly 6.2.

Definitely agree. I'm not sure why it's so low. I think it's a solid film all around.

I would give it an 8. The cast is amazing.

I agree, I really think this movie is very funny, I kinda feel like watching it now.
