UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Michael Ledo 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.

cinemajesty Doomed to going-under in theatrical releases since his last major production for Hollywood Major Walt Disney Pictures in Summer 2010 in the role of Balthazar in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", actor Nicolas Cage gets this relieving part as real-life character Gary Fauklner, who sets out several times in 2000er years to capture Al-Qaeda's snake-head Osama Bin Laden as the name given "Army of One".Director Larry Charles makes no prisoners in this production as he did with his previous close to mockumentary conceived in-official trilogy of social mischief in praising comedian/actor Sacha Baron Cohen in the parts of "Borat" (2006), "Brüno" (2009) and "The Dictator" (2012), given an astounding budget range from 18 to 65 Million U.S. Dollars per movie to make the illusion of watching-actual documentary footage of a fictitious character in a real-time moving society."Army of One" steps away from the approach of a mockumentary, presenting Nicolas Cage with a stage to act out all his accumulated stress and exasperation of years apart from challenging roles, except perhaps the part of "Joe" in Season 2012/2013 David Gordon Green's motion picture of the name, which nevertheless could not dive into depths of characters as Frank Pierce in "Bringing Out The Dead" (1999) directed by Martin Scorsese or Tom Welles in "8mm" (1999) directed by Joel Schumacher to still ultimately nerve striking Ben Sanderson of the motion picture "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995) directed Mike Figgis, which all had been hard to be conceivable parts, even if the transcended emotions from screen to the audience under at times spine-struggle directors may vary to this day of retrospective.For me personally, it had been a gut-striking pleasure with an occasional LoL to see Nic Cage acting himself loose even to a point of jagged-edged havoc in this short-lived if not meaningless motion picture by Larry Charles, who unfortunately could not find the illuminating emotional point break by the end in interpreting the real-life character of Gary Fauklner, when having actor Nicolas Cage, dressed in black, put into place, watching former U.S. President Barack Obama on TV, announcing the killing of Osama Bin Laden, which finally confronts the main character with his illusions, giving him the chance to come out clean by translating meaning of his actions into this world's reality.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

Gordon-11 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.

Bob Rutzel Sadly, apparently this is somewhat a true story. Sad.Gary Faulkner (Nicolas Cage) is told by God (Russell Brand) to go to Pakistan and find and capture Osama Bin Laden.If Mr Cage did not use that ridiculous voice - thinking he was mimicking the real Gary Faulkner - this would not have been as bad as it is. I mean by using his own voice this could have been good, funny and at least watchable and most important of all the Nicolas Cage Impersonators would have been in 7th Heaven. Now they are shaking their collective heads. Sad. We do see the real Gary Faulkner at the end of the movie as he appeared on the TV show The View and in other interviews, and his voice sounded good and nothing like the one used by Nicolas Cage in this Silly, Ridiculous and mostly Annoying movie. It was this voice used by Cage that put this into a tailspin. (If you didn't like this, why did you watch it to the end?)Truth be told I was hoping this would save itself as I do like Nicolas Cage and I was hoping that the Director and other powers that be would see that this voice of Cage's just wasn't working. They didn't see it. Sad. Also it was the out-of-control-behavior Faulkner exhibited that was just as annoying. Using Russell Brand as God was okay, but when this "God" uses foul language then all this falls apart. Couldn't anyone see that? Apparently not. Sad. There is nothing more to be said. This was like being in a nightmare we couldn't get out of. Very sad. If there was ever a story that never had to be told, this is it. (1/10)Violence: Yes, Faulkner gets beat up. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.
