The biggest draw is watching Cage embrace a character with the unironic comedic flair we haven’t seen from him in quite some time, but it only works effectively if he’s able to balance the realization that Gary Faulkner isn’t a joke.

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.

The problem is that Army Of One doesn’t add up to much. It’s not quite a satire nor quite a full character study.

The movie’s noisy, busy and not that funny. But there is a sweetness and a cockeyed optimism here. At heart, it’s a salute to American gumption — however misguided.

the first twenty minutes, you can endure, because you think that later, something sure to happen. but this insanity goes on and on. This nonsense just continues... until the end. what this film about? the entire film is a muddled imagination of the sick person. what the heck, I lost so much time

Absolute garbage, Cage was dreadful with such an annoying irritating voice & Brand, well, Brand cannot be anything other than Brand. Nothing remotely humorous about this whatsoever. Don't waste 90 mins of your life on such an annoying, dire movie. Thank you.
