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..Read full review
