The Dictator 2012
Reviewed Jul 13, 2012
Duncan Stripp’s review:
The main problem with the latest film from Sacha Baron Cohen isnt that its offensive, but simply that it isnt that funny. Playing the dictator and body double of a fictional North African country Cohen's acting talents are really stretched, and prove that he is much better suited to anarchic improv rather than 'straight' comedy. A wasted opportunity
