See All Details and Credits. Consequence of Sound - Blake Goble Nov 8, Army of One recounts Faulkner, through Quixotan whimsy and geo-political smart aleck humor, which amounts to a quick screwball comedy about a loveable fuckup.
Club - Jesse Hassenger Nov 9, But there is a sweetness and a cockeyed optimism here. It's one of the worst performances Cage has given — and perversely, since he's playing a madman, it contains none of the unabashed weirdness that has made some bad Cage performances guilty pleasures. Army Of One is a waste of talent across the board. One has to go back to John Leguizamo in The Pest to find a performance more annoying.
Who could possibly go toe-to-toe with a bearded Nicolas Cage mugging and prancing in extended, meandering scenes? Twelve minutes in, we meet Russell Brand as God. Larry Charles has been in writers rooms with some of the most clever creative minds of our time.
Nicolas Cage and Russell Brand in Army of One () Nicolas Cage and Wendi McLendon-Covey in Army of One () Nicolas Cage and Ryan Beil in Army. Army of One is a American comedy film directed by Larry Charles and written by Rajiv Joseph and Scott Rothman. The film stars Nicolas Cage, Wendi.

Faulkner is an America First type, and in a real movie this would be an avenue for exploration. Army of One fails on such a critical level that it never establishes how we are supposed to feel about our lead character. Are we rooting for his quixotic adventure, or feeling sorry for his inner turmoil?
We are cringing and texting our friends about the next atrocity in each scene. After trying to sail from California to Pakistan, Faulkner goes to Israel in the hopes of hang-gliding there.
Past the halfway mark of the movie he goes the traditional route and flies to Islamabad. Once Faulkner gets to Pakistan, nothing really happens.
