Review of The Dictator (2012) by Jens S — 22 Jul 2018
This time Cohen didn't meet idiots as a fake character, exposing their bigotry but instead made a real film with a bit of a plot and actors. The humpor is still the same. Imagine every insulting stereotype about arabs, terror and dictatorship but also body openings and sex and it's probably in this film.
That's sometimes cringe worthy and sometimes hilarious. The biggest surprise is "Aladeen's" speech about why the USA is even against dictatorships. That's incredibly smart, spot-on and, sadly, horribly current.
