What's really funny about this film is that Nic Cage looks like the real life character portrayed in this film.This was the perfect role for Nicholas Cage's quirky and outgoing personality and he adapted to his character perfectly. Russell Brand was cast perfectly in his role as God, and it was a joy to see Wendi McLendon-Covey in her role.The problem with this film is the editing and pace and the sound. A little more tweaking in those departments and I would have scored this higher.Otherwise it's a pleasant 6/10 from me

Do you like Nick Cage? Do you like swords? Then why haven't you seen this movie?In this stellar performance, Nick Cage delivers a knock-out, drop-dead, 10/10 performance. (I'm not even joking.) I don't think anyone could have portrayed his character closer to the actual man than Nick Cage. I've seen a lot of Nick Cage movies. A lot of "bad" ones. I liked them, but I like to get drunk and watch Nick Cage movies. It's somewhat of a pass time. This movie however is actually a movie I would recommend watching with real people. There's a certain awkwardness of the whole movie, the type of awkwardness you've come to expect from a movie with Nick Cage in it, but it actually fits this time. I mean hell I even felt bad for the lady (his girlfriend/chick from Reno 911). The whole situation is ridiculous and she just goes along with. Just like me watching a typical Nick Cage movie. But this isn't a typical Nick Cage movie. This is on National Treasure levels, and I'm serious when I say that. Now sure there's stuff that doesn't work. It kind of seems lazy that there's a narrator for example, but you should still see this movie. Everyone should see this movie. Half the time I'm asking myself what the hell is happening. And I look at the screen and I get the feeling Nick Cage is asking himself the same question. 10/10 would watch again.

I know Nicolas Cage takes a lot of "flak" from reviewers, but I'm always interested in what he'll come up with next. Here he portrays Gary Faulkner, from Greeley, Colorado, an actual person, who was commanded by God to travel to Pakistan by himself and capture Osama bin Laden.If it sounds silly and ridiculous, and it is, but I at least got some laughs out of the movie especially in the middle part of the film, after which it unfortunately falls apart. To me, Cage is always charismatic on the screen, and I thought Wendi McLendon-Covey was well cast as Marci here, who ends up in a relationship with Gary.Overall, a disappointment from the very talented filmmaker Larry Charles, with a script from Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman. Some laughs here, but not enough to carry the movie.

Right, now I have to state that I wasn't aware that this was actually based on real events. Yeah, I had not heard about the guy who actually underwent this trek to find Bin Laden himself.But anyway, I sat down to watch "Army of One" with my better half, because my wife is a fan of Nicolas Cage. I, however, am not a fan of his, not in any way; I think he has one expression for every scene and every character - and that is constipated.I will say that Nicolas Cage impressed me tremendously here with his performance in "Army of One". It was good to see him in a role such as this, and get to see a more diverse and offbeat side to his acting. I was actually genuinely impressed with what he pulled off here. And this is easily the second best performance of his entire career, with the best (in my opinion) being "Matchstick Men" from 2003.The story in "Army of One" is about a fairly unstable civilian who decides to set out to find Bin Laden and bring him to justice, since the American army had no luck in doing so.Now, I do like Russell Brand, but I didn't think he was the right cast for this movie. It was just a bit too off to see him in this movie. He is a funny guy, for sure, but he is better at comedies of a whole different genre."Army of One" is actually a very enjoyable movie, and it is a movie that is fun and turned out to be entertaining. I was surprised with how good I found the movie, so I can actually warmly recommend that you take the time to watch "Army of One", whether or not you are a fan of Nicolas Cage. It is a movie that tells a good story.
