Great Thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (18 January 2009)

The Last King of Scotland is a very good film. It may not be totally accurate, but there are still some historical references in this film. Forest Whittaker definitely deserves an Oscar for this movie.
This film takes place in Uganda and it tells the story of a Scottish doctor who becomes the personal adviser and healthcare provider of dictator Idi Amin and his family. It starts well at first but things become more serious as the years goes on. Now, the doctor, Garrigan is surrounded by betrayal and havoc.
Forest Whittaker did an extremely good job portraying Amin. James McAvoy wasn't too bad either.
Overall, this is a great film portraying many messages and has a little historical truth. I rate this film 9/10.
