The Last King of Scotland
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The movie peers into the troubled African nation Uganda, it explores the turmoil and troubles surrounding the country's darkest recent period ... the Idi Amin regime.
In 1970, a young Scottish doctor named Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) comes to Uganda around the time that a military coup puts General Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) into power.
Garrigan tends to the dictator for a minor ailment, and Amin is impressed by the young
Scottish doctor, and asks him to be his private physician .
True violence only comes late, but when it arrives it’s stark and unrestrained,
and becomes more and more apparent that this is not a film for the faint-hearted.
