The Dictator

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I have really enjoyed Sasha Baron Cohen’s work in the past. I loved much of. “Borat”. I really liked his work in “Hugo” and “Talladega Nights”. He is, paradoxically, calculating and fearless. That’s why I was so disappointed in this film about a sociopathic dictator from somewhere (Middle East, Central Asia, N Africa?) who is overthrown while he’s in New York City and who has to make his way on his own. I couldn’t even make it through the first hour. There are moments of humor but it is, for the most part, just not funny. I can do crude, rude, inappropriate, incorrect and juvenile. This was just boring.
