Over the top and not funny

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.
