ARMY OF ONE is one of those ridiculous Hollywood stories that's so unbelievable it has to be true. It tells of some over-zealous American nutcase who decides it's his mission from God to travel to Pakistan and single-handedly capture Osama bin Laden. Yeah, you heard me. Sadly, in the hands of these guys, the film quickly descends into the level of farcical nonsense, with a bearded Nicolas Cage giving one of his very worst performances: completely over the top, stupid and unbelievable, and annoying within minutes. Even worse than him is the execrable Russell Brand, who somebody decided it would be a good idea to cast in the role of God. Yeah, big mistake...

This is loosely based on a true story. Gary Brooks Faulkner (Nicolas Cage) is obsessed with getting Osama bin Laden. He is a part time handy man who skips his dialysis and hallucinates. He talks to God (Russell Brand) who has a British accent and commands him to go to Pakistan and kill Osama, but is not big on details on how to do it. Gary is befriended by Marci (Wendi McLendon-Covey) who sees Gary is a good guy despite his crazy tendencies.

The film is humorous with Cage playing a crazy guy in a story that is overly dramatized. He is a likable idiot (like my BIL) who can be the ugly American and get away with it.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Nicholas Cage brings life to the character. I found myself liking him right away. Good supporting cast. Very coherent story line as well. This movie is not based on mindless action , or sex appeal, it really doesn't have too much profanity either. Just a quirky take on a odd guy that had an interesting adventure. I like it. In summary, if you want something easy to digest and that has a positive message then check this out. It was a nice break from all the ideological propaganda masquerading as entertainment these days.
