With Sacha Baron Cohen in the lead, "The Dictator" displays coarse humour in his own idiosyncratic way. Despite having a middling storyline; the drolly punchlines, jocular dialogues & ludicrous character interactions outshining everything else.
'Admiral General Aladeen', most likely one of the memorable comic characters you would ever witness! An egoistic, misogynistic person, played by Sacha with enough conviction; and that too with so much ease. From his accent to his mannerisms, Mr. Cohen grasping the nuances of a character; and making it his very own! So the case with every role that he chooses.
On the technical front, there is absolutely nothing to bemoan about. The same remarks go to its modernized Soundscore. Quite fitting, if you ask me! Story wise; it's formulaic, yet scrappy. Only savior being its overboard humor, alongside few astutely penned facetious interactions, that Aladeen had with the others. If only those characters had much subsistence to begin with.
Lastly, for Cohen admirers; this one's a must watch. Also for those who adore satirical setups mainly based upon political affairs! Apparently with a few infrequent similarities, it is still not quite upto Borat's level.
Keep your expectations on check!
