November 3, 2009This is an awesome true story....so sad...especially Kerry Washington......and all the people of Uganda....The doctor was put in some horrible situations and he should have known better than to mess with that man like that....Forest Whitaker gets an all star performance in this o...( read more)

October 30, 2009I loved James McAvoy in this film. It wasn't amazing, but It had a very interesting storyline and was fast paced and intence.

October 26, 2009I really enjoyed this film, Forest Whitaker's performace is outstanding. Although, personally I'd have rathered if there had been less of a ficticious side to the film. McAvoy's role gives you a view into Idi Amin's personal life, but there were probably other ways that could h...( read more)

October 21, 2009This illustrated both the persuasiveness and atrocities of Ugandan dictator Amin without hiding the bonking of Scottish doctor Garrison from whose point-of-view this movie is viewed from.

October 18, 2009Whitaker is amazing, at turns charming and scary!! McAvoy is very good too as the naive doctor who realizes his flaws and the horrors he has had a hand in much too late.

October 16, 2009Konacno ga pogledah.. I super je. Forest je toliko pridonio filmu.. Odlicno psiholoski iznijansiran, dinamican, ne bas ne znam kako zanimljiva radnja, ali s dosta akcije pa film prodje u sekundi. Ono na sto je film ciljao je prikazati uspon i pocetak pada diktatora koji je naredi...( read more)

October 5, 2009A good storyline with an amazing cast however it lacked something that made it all fit together.
-
October 1, 2009I can't say I'm James McAvoy's biggest fan but Whitaker's fantastic performance and MacDonald's brilliant direction made this a very enjoyable film. I'm not a big fan of the fiction element of the film though, I would have rather seen a film that was 100% factual.

September 5, 2009Forest Whitaker gives the best performance of his career and also one of the greatest performances in the history of Hollywood cinima.

August 13, 2009Forrest Whitaker is absolutely amazing, McAvoy is great and the rest of the cast make the movie believable. The photo is also really good if not the best I've ever seen.
But of course the story is perhaps the most important of it all. The movie has a special tone that isn't too ...( read more) -
August 9, 2009I can't believe I waited almost 3 years to finally see this movie. I've had it on dvd for about 2 years now which makes it even worse that I waited so long, because this movie is absolutely great. I wouldn't say it's fantastic, but it's damn close. I think the problem with the...( read more)

August 2, 2009This is both a powerful examination of a horrific time and an adrenaline-filled thriller with a healthy dose of wry humour. Forest Whitaker is tremendous and fully deserved his Oscar, while James McAvoy turns in a typically strong and at times intense performance
