I think I want to see this. The shot of John Goodman in uniform had me ready to write it off until I saw what it was about. It supposedly tells the story of the team of art experts sent to go rescue fine art and protect historic places toward the end of World War 2. Clooney has done some military films that were odd at best (Three Kings) without directly insulting the military so I will give it a chance.

"It was a period of time in our history before all the cynicism," Heslov said about the film's WWII setting. "It was a war, I think, that everybody believed in, and it was right. And we were on the right side." And Heslov noted that even 70 years later, there are still pieces of that history yet to be discovered. He said, "There generally are a lot of stories buried in those times, and I feel like we found one that wasn't a rehashing. There really was something new."
