Very infotaining, but not completely true

Rating: 9/10 (21 January 2007)

Executive Summary: A very engaging, informative, and entertaining movie. But a significant part of the movie is fictional.
What I liked:
(1) The movie is true to the spirit of Id Amin's brutal rule of Uganda.
(2) There is not one boring minute in the movie.
(3) The character development of the fictional characters is masterful.
(4) You learn a great deal about the plight of the Ugandan people.
What I did not like:
(1) There is no disclaimer about the fictional characters in the movie. The casual viewer would spend the rest of his/her life believing many things about Id Amin and Uganda that did not happen in reality.
(2) IMHO, some of the gruesome images of decapitated people were unnecessary.
Warning:
(1) Some of the scenes have gruesome images.
