One of the best movies I have seen. It stars Forest Whitaker and James McAvoy. The story is centred around the relationship of Amin (Whitaker) and Dr. Garrigan (McAvoy).
Garrigan is fresh out of medical school and decides he wants to get away from home and runs off to Uganda, Africa. He works with a small mission until one day he meets Idi Amin.
Amin is the charismatic leader of Uganda, and appoints Garrigan as his personal physician and considers him his closest advisor(sometimes).
Things go bad, real bad. (there are quick scenes of extreme gore)
This film really shows Whitaker's ability as an actor. Throughout the film he must change emotions at the drop of a hat. Whitaker didn't win an Oscar for this role for nothing.
The storyline is great with very few holes and easy to follow. The visuals are outstanding. And the supporting cast are all great.
Why should you see this movie?
Because Forest Whitaker is the fucking man(and it won 34 awards and 21 nominations)
