Sadly, apparently this is somewhat a true story. Sad.
Gary Faulkner (Nicolas Cage) is told by God (Russell Brand) to go to Pakistan and find and capture Osama Bin Laden.
If Mr Cage did not use that ridiculous voice - thinking he was mimicking the real Gary Faulkner - this would not have been as bad as it is. I mean by using his own voice this could have been good, funny and at least watchable and most important of all the Nicolas Cage Impersonators would have been in 7th Heaven. Now they are shaking their collective heads. Sad.
We do see the real Gary Faulkner at the end of the movie as he appeared on the TV show The View and in other interviews, and his voice sounded good and nothing like the one used by Nicolas Cage in this Silly, Ridiculous and mostly Annoying movie. It was this voice used by Cage that put this into a tailspin. (If you didn't like this, why did you watch it to the end?)
Truth be told I was hoping this would save itself as I do like Nicolas Cage and I was hoping that the Director and other powers that be would see that this voice of Cage's just wasn't working. They didn't see it. Sad. Also it was the out-of-control-behavior Faulkner exhibited that was just as annoying.
Using Russell Brand as God was okay, but when this "God" uses foul language then all this falls apart. Couldn't anyone see that? Apparently not. Sad.
There is nothing more to be said. This was like being in a nightmare we couldn't get out of. Very sad. If there was ever a story that never had to be told, this is it. (1/10)
Violence: Yes, Faulkner gets beat up. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Language: Yes.
