Although there is a fair amount of regurgitation of the news story, "The Dissident" offers sufficient new material to justify its existence.

Engrossing but conventional – a well-told story whose evocative setting and vivid performances combine to produce a grim and lurid tableau.

This is a work of passion and anger and it conveys points in the subtext that provoke an emotional and intellectual response.
