My Comment:
Forest Whitaker is brilliant. I had goosebumps watching him played Idi Amin. It felt so real. It was joyous at the beginning, Idi Amin became a promise for the new Uganda. The story was wider when Dr. Garrigan involved too deep to the government. This movie delivered the half fiction movie became almost like real. Because some of the events were real however it was twisted a bit. In addition, this movie succeeded made an ambiance of thrill living in a militant country. I was so scared of what would happen next, so that I closed my eyes, wishing this movie would end soon.
