A King of a film!

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2007)

Well, it's just one more movie to add to my list of 2006 films that were better than "The Departed." Lets see, this one, The Illusionist, and Rocky Balboa, all superior to The Departed. Anyways, The Last King of Scotland is a fine film. Very few flaws, as the story works around the time period of Ugandan ruler Amin. Whitaker excels in his rule as the paranoid and brutal ruler. Overall this film flows well. Do yourself a favor and brush up quickly on your Amin history and timetable it will help tremendously on your understanding of what is going on. I watched this film with subtitles on because accents were very thick and it helped very much. Great film!!!
