wow wow wow wow INTENSE!!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2006)

I've been waiting all summer for a good movie to come out instead of the usual duds. This movie was an absolute 10+. Not one flaw, completely intense and engrossing, and just THE best performance I think I've ever seen on film. This was perfection on celluloid. Forest Whitikar (sp?) nailed the complexity and depth of Ida Amin, to the extent that you almost feel sorry for the childlike man even though he was a monster. He also portrayed Ida's ability to read and manipulate people so well yet so subtly...I forgot 2 minutes into the film that I was watching an actor playing Ida Amin. Bravo!!!!!! Finally, a movie well worth my hard earned $10.50!!
