You must find a way to get out.

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2007)

There is no doubt why Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin grabbed just about every award he was nominated for. He was just incredible in the picture and really played the character just as I imagined he would be in real life.
But we would be remiss if we did not also celebrate the performance of James McAvoy (Wimbledon) as Dr. Garrigan, a naive young man in the shadow of his father who got in so deep that he had no way of knowing how to get out. It was his supporting role playing off Idi Amin, that allowed Whoitaker to make his character so good.
Kudos to a fantastic script (Writers are important!) and a good performance by Kerry Washington (Ray, Mr & Mrs Smith) as Kay Amin.
I really liked this movie and want to see it again.
