truly stunning

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2007)

WOW
If you are wondering if this film is worthy of the acclaim it has been getting, and if it will live up to expectation... It most defiantly does! Possibly the most powerful performance I have seen in recent years, not only for Forest Whittaker as Idi Amin, but also James McAvoy as the man whose memories we are reliving, Dr Nicholas Garrigan, in fact all the performances are stunning.
Harrowing images and worryingly disturbing humour, it is a really dark insight into madness brought on by power and paranoia.
So that is my tip for the best actor Oscar, for Forest Whitaker...
Enjoy
