It was supposed to be a wild adventure in a far-off country, but when a naive young doctor arrives in 1970's Uganda - hoping for fun, sun and to lend a helping hand - he finds himself instead on a shocking ride into the darkest realm on earth. Befriended by the charismatic new leader, Idi Amin, and appointed as his personal physician, Nicholas Garrigan is originally blinded by his larger than life and charming persona. But when the terrible truth of his despotic rule is revealed, he must fight for both his life and soul against one of the cruellest leaders in history.
Deftly mixing fa... ct and fiction and startlingly resonant with today's world, the film features a tour de force performance from Forest Whitaker as Amin and carves two unforgettable portraits: one of a charismatic but psychopathic ruler who ravaged his country and the other, of a witness to history who finally finds the courage to make a stand.

A supersized performance by Forest Whitaker dominates The Last King of Scotland and rightfully so, as he portrays one of recent history's great monsters, General Idi Amin Dada of Uganda. Helmer Kevin Macdonald's plunge into full-fledged dramatic filmmaking after the partial crossover from documentaries in Touching the Void starts well, but trips over preposterous plot developments as it pushes toward its climax. Unusual material and a measure of critical acclaim will give this Fox Searchlight title a decent shot at good biz in specialized release.
Hugely charming when he wants to be, but with a changeability that can turn on a dime to appalling evil, Whita...
Unmissable
Forest Whitaker is simply superb as the unpredictable and murderous Idi Amin, and James McAvoy is equally as compelling as the young, naive Scottish doctor who seeks adventure in Uganda believing he can make a difference. The two meet by chance and Amin persuades the doctor to move into palatial surroundings as his personal physician and adviser. Forest Whitaker plays every scene with just the right amount of tension - is he going to react with anger or good humour? The doctor enjoys his new life of luxury but he is completely out of his depth when it comes to political machinations, and when he stupidly begins an affair with one of Amin's wives he risks the full force of a vengeful d...
Hype
Though this was hardly the worst film I have seen this year it was somewhat of an anticlimax. I can only assume that the masses have once more followed like sheep instead of using their own minds.
Charisma. Ruthlessness. Madness. Forest Whitaker's chilling, charismatic take on Uganda's General Idi Amin in The Last King Of Scotland stands up there with the great depictions of unhinged dictators like Antony Hopkins' Hitler in The Bunker or Christian Clavier in the 'Napolean' mini-series. It's a powerhouse performance from a lazy-eyed, rotund actor normally relegated to playing cuddly roles. Capturing the central conundrum of Amin - his enticing charm and genocidal violence - Whitaker pulls off a spectacular thespian coup that has Oscar-winner stamped all over it.
He bounds onto the screen like a grizzly bear on Prozac, a bundle of capricious energy who sedu...
