This is a fantastic, superb film

Rating: 10/10 (9 February 2007)

This is the best movie of the year!! Forrest Whittaker is phenomenal. The plot includes love, hate, murder, betrayal--one could only hope if Shakespeare were alive he could have created such a masterpiece. This movie needs to win every award it has been nominated for. Idi Amin is probably rolling over in his grave, because this film seems to paint one of the most accurate portraits of a dangerous, insane dictator whose sense of humor only makes the viewer more uncomfortable as we realize that this man (played marvelously and flawlessly by Whittaker) is not only evil, but he is losing his mind. And the viewer can't help but feel sorry for the doc, even tho' from the beginning of the film we see that he made his bed and should lie in it~~he made a deal with the devil and there are grave consequences for his clandestine dealings.
