Review of The Last King of Scotland (2006) by Trevor H — 28 Jan 2010
A fascinating insight into the life of Idi Amin, as seen through the eyes of his personal physician Nicholas Garrigan. Forest Whitaker is admirable in the role of Amin, though I'm not convinced he was worthy of an Oscar for this part.
The script didn't allow him to bring the crazed, pahological mind of Amin to the fore, not enough for me anyway. A must see movie though, fast paced but remember that it's fictional!
