If you loved The Dictator, try Army of One

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Army of One has roughly 19.3× fewer votes than The Dictator — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Larry Charles, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Dictator, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Army of One is

The brief mid-2010s fascination with civilian intervention gets a workout here. A deeply unqualified man receives a message from God telling him to go to Pakistan and capture Osama bin Laden. It is, perhaps, the only film to imagine what would happen if Nicolas Cage had actually caught him.
