Wasted Just Under Two Hours Of My Life

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2007)

This film is absolutely awful...I give it a 3 because I feel the camera crew, etc deserve some credit (not their fault they filmed a total farce of a movie). There was me thinking for once I may agree with the Oscars...No chance...This is the most sanitized version of Idi Amin's regime that could've been made...Oh my god...They pulled someones hair....What a farce...So devoid of facts that I wanted to cry...Only Film Four (a British film company) could make a movie that swept under the carpet soooo much African suffering to instead concentrate on a fictitious Scottish main leads minor woes and suffering (which I felt he deserved after taking the easy pleasure route - hang on don't get caught up in a make-belief character's nonsense P23...hehe). This is my 1st and probably only comment I will leave on IMDb but this film p*ssed me off soooooo much! Critically acclaimed for what???? If you want to watch a movie on this era watch 'The Rise And Fall Of Idi Amin' (partly made by the people of Uganda - but what do they know!) which is classed as a B-Movie exploitation. Now I have seen many 'exploitation' movies and The Last King Of Scotland wins the award for 'Movie That Leaves The Worst Taste In My Mouth'...OK so it loooks like it should've won at least one award after all....Excuse me whilst I go gargle some mouthwash.... Utterly pointless movie that shows nothing of what actually happened... BTW I say wasted just under 2 hours because I walked out before it finished....Not because some of it was worth watching...
