The Dictator 2012 ★★★½

Watched May 16, 2012

Much better than bruno. not as good as borat

simple sentence sums it up really. his first proper fully scripted tale since the abysmal ali g film. this is a great improvement on his last.

at times very funny and also very offensive with some gags that work very well and a few that don't. i enjoyed myself

cohen is his usual self and he's great in this carrying the whole film again and giving it his all. anna faris doesnt get much to do but is good in her role. John C Reily is a highlight (as usual) with a very memorable cameo appreance full of laughs in a great scene with cohen. Ben Kingsley is a bit wasted to be honest and his role could have been more than what it is

there is one other cameo which made me burst out laughing. i was the only one in my showing who did mind (bloody charlatans) but im sure a few of you will enjoy it

if your a fan of cohen's work it's a must see and the second best film so far that revolves around him and is a credit for that
