Brilliant biopic. Moves like a thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (7 November 2019)

I can happily give The Last King of Scotland a 9. It's tense, eye-opening, brilliantly played, and a bonus, it's all true. Just as a side note: Why was this ever called The Last King of Scotland when it's about Idi Amin? For years I saw Forest Whittaker's smiling face on the cover of the dvd, along with the title, and, weirdly, assumed it was a comedy like Eddie Murphy in Coming To America (1988). There must be something wrong with me... what a dolt I am!! Regardless, so glad I finally found this gem and the treasure within. This is a great movie, a really strange tale, one that cannot disappoint.
