I thought this would be similar to something the Coen bros. might put out when it first previewed. I was wrong. While it was good for a chuckle or two, I found it boring for the most part, and am still not quite sure what the "mission" was that served as the motivation for the main characters. I also couldn't figure out if it was making fun of the men with "special powers," or if it was paying homage to them. Basically, I think someone tried to make a story out of something that really wasn't worthy of one. Perhaps the filmmakers tried to stay too close to real-life events. I think the material could have been used as the basis for a very funny fictional film. As it was, I couldn't wait for this one to end.
