Army of One

• Comedy

Driven by unwavering, divinely-inspired conviction, *Army of One* presents a bizarrely sincere portrait of Gary Faulkner, a self-proclaimed modern-day knight errant embarking on a solo mission to capture Osama Bin Laden. This isn’t a high-stakes action film, but a deadpan comedy rooted in the earnest delusion of its protagonist and the surreal encounters he has navigating Pakistani culture and the CIA’s bewildered response. The film finds humor not in mocking Faulkner’s quest, but in the contrast between his unwavering faith and the utter absurdity of his methods – a lone man with a sword against global terrorism. It’s a surprisingly heartwarming, if unconventional, exploration of faith, purpose, and the human need to believe in something, even when the world deems it impossible, and fueled by Nicolas Cage's uniquely committed performance.
