Additional Information
Forest Whitaker delivers an Oscar-winning, ferociously commanding performance as bloodthirsty Ugandan president Idi Amin in Kevin MacDonaldÆs THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. Adapted from the novel by Giles Foden, the film recounts AminÆs horrific reign through the eyes of a fictional character, Nick Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young doctor from Scotland who travels to Uganda hoping to do some good. Nick is more sanguine about new president Amin than his counterpart Sarah Merrit (Gillian Armstrong) is, whose experience causes her to be sceptical of AminÆs bombastic declarations. After an automobile accident, Nick is called in to treat the presidentÆs wounds. His authoritative behaviour impresses Amin, who charms Nick into becoming his personal physician. Nick embraces his newfound life of luxury, but he is unable to grasp the reality of the situation. When he does finally realise the atrocities Amin is inflicting upon his people (and is also capable of inflicting on Nick), the terrified doctor tries to make a frantic escape before it's too late. MacDonald, director of the acclaimed documentaries ONE DAY IN SEPTEMBER and TOUCHING THE VOID, makes a startlingly assured transition into fictional filmmaking with THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. Working with cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (THE CELEBRATION) and editor Justine Wright, MacDonald brings 1970s Uganda to pulsating life, perfectly recreating that tumultuous era. But ultimately the film belongs to Whitaker: as he shifts from charming to maniacal in the space of a short, unexpected breath, he infuses Amin with startling humanity.

Whitaker shines
The rise of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, told through the eyes of a fictional character. James McAvoy plays a newly-qualifies doctor who wants to do good somewhere abroad, and randomly chooses Uganda. By chance his path crosses that of new chief Amin, who recruits him as his personal doctor. And he roller-coaster ride begins, as Amin switches between big friendly lovable buffoon and terrifying monster. I found McAvoy's character really dislikeable- life would have been so much better (and not just for him) if he had not shown such a predilection for other men's wives. Brilliant performance from Whitaker, capturing he mood swings and the menace always lurking beneath. And Gillian Anderson, with blonde hair and an excellent British accent, is top rate..

Here I am The President of Uganda and who put me here?
More of a thriller featuring Amin than a straight biopic, in actual fact "The Last King Of Scotland" is reminiscent of an African "Boogie Nights", full of excess, madness, and sinister characters. One such sequence features a party, which feels like a mixture of the Playboy mansion with Amin astride a white horse Lone Ranger style, and Kurtz's insane entourage in Apocalypse Now. The danger crackles from the screen in a mix of drunkenness and naked flesh. Amongst all of this chaos is smug middle-class Doctor Nicholas who realises that his lofty ambitions are at the mercy of a maniac and not the saviour of Uganda. This character is the perfect reflection of the middle-Britain faux intellectual who thinks they know better than the pragmatic officials who have dealt with such dictators for years. He also has an eye for other men's women, biting the hands that feed him on two occasions. He seems intoxicated by Africa, becoming an old style colonial, inflated with his own sense of importance and power. Undeniably Britain and the other colonial powers in Africa have a lot to answer for but the shadowy foreign office fixer is whom the good doctor turns to when his mentor reveals his true level of madness. Amin of course draws comparison with Mugabe, ejecting his own middle-class in favour of cronies who will ultimately ruin the country. As the situation spirals out of control Nicholas seems to physically shrink, his small town mentality returning showing just how out of his depth this tiny man is.Read full review
