The Last King of Scotland.

Now we all know what Idi Amin did in Uganda. A movie that reminds us what Uganda went through during the bad days. This movie was given "8 *s" in "imdb" and deservingly so. The movie had appropriate casting and of course Forrest Whitaker did pull it off. The additional complexion added to him did make him resemble Idi Amin. I have never seen or heard Idi Amin but it did help me imagine how he would have behaved and spoken. James McAvoy is really impressive, I saw him last in the Chronicles of Narnia and a great performance here.

Overall good direction and editing, a movie one can surely watch. Finally cheers to the director for finishing it all with the Entebbe incident !!!
