A fictious story of a young Scotsman who grabs the opportunity to become part of the what appears to be the greatest revolution in the African continent - by accepting to become the personal doctor to the evil Idi Amin. The rest of the movie shows what a big fuckup that was and how he tries to extricate himself from the mess - much of which is his own shit. Based on a novel of the same name, the lead character of the young scotsman is based on the true story of a British soldier who actively partnered the dictator in the various crimes. Forest Whitaker is impressive, but I find it a bit hard to believe that he should swoop all 45 awards in the season. But then such is life. Rating: * *
