Saw this movie last weekend, did not know what to expect. I never heard of Gary Faulker before, but I remembered that a couple years ago there was a crazy American who traveled to Pakistan to capture OBL. I thought is was a hoax, nobody can be that stupid. So Meet Gary Faulker, people.
Nicolas Cage played the role very good, I did not see Nicolas Cage but a very annoying American patriot. Russel Brand played the role of god. He Was no Morgan Freeman god, but for this movie he played the part very convincing. Wendi McLendon-Covey acted a bit wooden and I really did not believe here role in the beginning of the movie. Extra notion for Rainn Wilson who played a small role in the movie as a some kind of jester.
Plot of the movie was very funny and fast pacing. Remember, this is not a documentary but a comedy. Watch this movie, if you want a real laugh.

There's Hollywood action star Nic Cage. There's multifaceted, serious actor Nic Cage. And then there's wacky, experimental Nic Cage.
Nic Cage goes back to his roots in smaller quirky comedies and explodes off the screen in every scene. He's in almost every scene and, while the script is mediocre, Cage elevates what would've been a forgettable C-movie into a fun and funny B-movie. This is proof that Cage is better than ever and capable of A+ material. Hope this is a sign of a comeback.
Its no Raising Arizona or Vampire's Kiss, but its good fluff. I think it was directed well enough but the script was too bare and the editing was a little sloppy. Cage has the most meat with his role and none of the other performers have much to do but react to him, instead of play off him. Would've been great to see Cage riff with these very funny and improv style performers, especially Rainn Wilson. Cage will make more comedies tho.

This film tells the story of a handyman in the United States who decides to act on the calling by God to go to Pakistan to eliminate bin Laden. Despite not having enough funds to finance his trips, not knowing his target's whereabouts and having no experience in such operations, he repeatedly goes to Pakistan to enact on his transpersonal goal.
"Army of One" seems like it could be funny, so I watched it. Unfortunately, I did not find it funny at all. The man in question is portrayed to be unusually passionate about his calling, to the point of being unreasonable. The film turns out not to be fun, because it is very over the top with unfunny jokes. I find the story and the delivery of the story simply atrocious. Even 90 minutes of screen time is too long.

First off - to all the reviewers who bash Nicolas Cage. Stop it. If you watched the credits, like any good reviewer would, you would see that he captured the character of the real Gary Faulkner. Okay - a wee bit overboard (again, no pun intended, but I'll take it), but that's what the movie was supposed to be: Gary Faulkner's adventure told the way Faulkner would - a wee bit overboard. And if you read articles about the real individual, he's a pure character all on his own. Even Faulkner pads his own life and experiences.
My main problem with the movie was ............. when they showed Denver International Airport, they didn't even get a stock photo of it. It has a very unique profile and it's too bad they couldn't have at least gotten that right given that they have Greeley in the foothills when it's in a part of Colorado that is actually flat as a pancake. YES! Colorado is not all mountains, people!
I watched this because Nic Cage was in it. I'm always interested to see what he's up to. And Russell Brand never disappoints. Come on, any movie that has Russell Brand as God is going to be a bit over the top.
It is an ODD film. If you don't like odd, this is not for you. If you do, you're in for a very fun ride.

If a movie, especially a comedy, doesn't wake me up and keep me awake, if I fall asleep half way through it, I've either had too much to drink or I've been lulled by boredom. Well, I wasn't drinking, but woke in my easy chair after it ended and I didn't have any desire to go back and watch what I missed. Confusing, disjointed, not very funny, weird and then deep sleep. That's about all I can say about it.
