The Last King Of Scotland
on DVD (2006)
Starring: Forest Whitaker, Simon McBurney, Gillian Anderson
Director: Kevin Macdonald
Certificate: 
Having been to that part of Africa myself, the first thing that hit me was the authenticity of not only the landscape, but in the acting of a very impressive Forest Whitaker! He captures the mixed personalities of Amin very well, while also hitting the Ugandan accent and speech structure right on the head! Well done Forest!
The story moves at a good pace, not to quick so you keep up with the plot, but not too slow to get bored, and thankfully the film is not too long, because although this is excellent in every way, it is also very sad, and difficult to watch in places. However in my opinion, it needs to be, because as brillant as this film is, it is not a happy story.
If you liked The Constant Gardener, Hotel Rwanda and Shooting Dogs, you'll like this!
