The Dictator - BANNED & UNRATED Version (Two-disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) (2012)

"The Dictator" is a comedy film starring Sacha Baron Cohen as Admiral General Hafez Aladeen the supreme leader of the fictional North African country Wadiya.

Due to international pressure Aladeen is forced to face the United Nations Assembly in New York City.

The narrative essentially focuses on his time in New York where he is secretly deposed and assumed dead. Aladeen is left to fend for himself with no power over those around him and this is the source of many enjoyable scenes and dialogue.

Admirers of Baron Cohen's work will feel right at home with plenty of crude and politically incorrect humour.

There are some viewers though who will find the movie too vulgar but I encourage those who are undecided to watch the film previews before deciding whether to see it.

Whilst the movie is amusing it may not knock some loyal Baron Cohen viewers off their seats with laughter but it will give them plenty to smile about.

Baron Cohen has invented a new character which further confirms his excellent comedic range.
