Last King of Scotland

Even though, you have to wait almost a half hour before you see his face, Forest Whitaker dominates the screen on-screen or off in his portrayal of the late dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin. To put it plainly, he scares the living daylights out of you. He puts the mean in Amin. James Mcavoy also is good as Nicholas the scottish physician but this is Forest's movie. It is an interestingly filmed movie. A little dark sometimes and graphic in others but as you are leaving the theatre, 2 thoughts are in your mind: WOW, Forest Whitaker was amazing and no matter what your view of politics is, you must be thanking the forces that be that we have a democracy and not a dictatorship in America. Thumbs up in fear because I don't want the ghost of Idi Amin to come after me.
