    Storyline

    • Trivia
      According to Nicolas Cage, director Larry Charles didn't get a final cut. Co-star Paul Scheer revealed in his 'Unspooled' podcast that the film was distributed by the company of Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein, who were notorious for re-editing movies against their directors' wishes. To circumvent this problem, Charles had frequent discussions with his editor about what shots he needed. He purposefully limited the amount of footage shot and did a lot of in-camera editing as to give the Weinsteins less opportunity to interfere with the final product. This didn't stop them from re-cutting the film and giving it a limited release, however.

    The hunt is on
    Nicolas Cage tries to take a break from straight to Pay TV action movies with a free wheeling quirky comedy as Gary Faulkner who we are told in the opening monologue who might be certifiably insane. We are also told that this movie is somewhat trueish.

    Faulkner, the demented handyman experiences a vision of God (Russell Brand) who tells him to go Pakistan and find and capture Osama Bin Laden. That is what Faulkner tries to do armed with a samurai sword. He attempts to sail there from San Diego, then hand glide there from Israel before deciding to fly to Pakistan on a plane.

    Director Larry Charles holds back on the film being a satirical romp and concentrates on Faulkner's eccentricities with some allusions to him being Don Quixote (we even see Faulkner riding a donkey.)

    The film falls a bit flat and Cage's whiny voice becomes annoying. It also does not help that Marrakesh is unconvincing standing in for Islamabad.
