Impressive movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2007)

I saw trailer for The last king of Scotland in the movie theater and since then I wasn't capable of thinking about anything else. I knew, I have to see it and I'm glad I did...This movie is really interesting,moving and thrilling. One of the main reasons for its quality are the acting performances of the two leading actors Forest Whitaker (especially his performance was amazing-in some scenes he switched from being a good fella into a total psycho in one second,which was quite scary:) and James McAvoy. Watching the development and change in their relationship was really interesting and impressive. Another great part of the movie was the screenplay. The dialogs weren't too short or too long. They said what was needed to be said and didn't involve the crap they usually involve (unnecessary stuff about their past,family, which aren't required for the storyline of the film, but are only filling blank spaces in the film etc.) The only thing I could reprehend is too long introduction (James McAvoy playing football with African kids etc.)On the other hand that was kind of needed in order to leave stronger impression from the movie as a whole, which I absolutely understand, but Ithink it could have been done a bit better. Overall I'd give 90%...Great job!
