Forest Whitakar was simply outstanding..

Rating: 10/10 (22 May 2007)

Earlier, I stated that Will Smith was robbed off an Oscar for his performance in The pursuit of Happiness. I returned home just now after watching The last king of Scotland, and now I say, Will Smith got unlucky that this classic released this year.
The portrayal of Idi Amin is not a joke and Forest rightly deserves the Oscar. Also, I was astonished why James McAvoy didn't receive an Oscar nomination in a supporting role.
The film is authentically brutal at times and a genuine drama in itself. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A text book of sorts for those who want to become actors.
