The Dictator (2012)

The Dictator definitely has an interesting concept which satirizes dictators and their absolutely nonsensical view of the world but it fails to engage. The comedy is boring at best and cheap at worst. Sacha Baron Cohen's previous, Borat was much better. One time watch!

For 40 years, the fictional North African nation of Wadiya (shown as coterminous with the boundaries of Eritrea on a map) has been ruled by Admiral-General Haffaz Aladeen, a childish, sexist, anti-Western, and antisemitic dictator who surrounds himself with female bodyguards, sponsors terrorism (especially giving shelter to al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden after "they killed his double one year ago"), changes many words in the Wadiyan dictionary to "Aladeen", and is working on developing nuclear weapons to "destroy Israel". He also refuses to sell Wadiya's oil fields, a promise he made to his father before his death. After the United Nations Security Council resolves to intervene militarily, Aladeen travels to the UN Headquarters in New York City to address the council.

This black comedy will make you laugh hard, that's for sure. Even a dictator is not happy with his own condition. His country where he rules,considers him as a king, where his rules ,apply,quite really. But hated in rest of the world. Called from UN to sign a peace treaty, he was always angaist it, but his admiral has other plans. He was deceived, and thrown into nowhere,and his look a like was convinced to turn his dictatorship into democracy. A movie where a dictator tries everything to continue make his country a dictatorship,will he be successful,do check out?

When you feel low, you want to laugh out loud at cheap comedy and humorous adult scenes. You should definitely go for this movie. Just keep your brains out and enjoy the movie. The movie will make you fall from the edge of your seats.
