“Army Of One” (*1/2 out of four) was an artificial and heavy-handed true story “comedy” set in the mid 2000’s about Gary Faulkner (Nicholas Cage), a handyman who believed that God (Russell Brand- don’t ask) sent him on a mission to find and kill Osama Bin Laden and he actually ventured to Pakistan to carry out this task. Cage does actually look and sound like the real Gary Faulkner when you see him over the end credits but his whiny voice, histrionics, and weird appearance make this tough going. For a much more intense and exciting look at the hunt and killing of Bin Laden, watch Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” instead.
