Having enjoyed Sacha Baron Cohen's many past hilarious and at-times controversial characters, I was obviously pretty excited to hear about this new movie. His new character? An over-the-top dictator. Sounds like a shot in the barrel, right? Well, after watching the trailer, I'm a tad hesitant.
I had assumed that this was going to be another improvised "real life" film, a la Borat and Bruno, but its looking to be more of an actual movie like Ali G back in the day. Problem is, he hasn't quite tested this persona with audiences yet..Although its pretty damn topical with the current political climate. Doesn't mean it can't be awesome in it's own way though, right? I'll make it a point to not skip this when it comes out May 2012.
