Disturbing bio-pic, Whitaker was fabulous, showing just how enigmatic crazy dictators can be - chilling. The fictional character, well-played by McAvoy, brought the film down by his inability to keep his dick in his pants and his reckless naivety.
Really great watch but not the best movie ever - I was more interested in the journey of Josh Brolin's character than Tommy Lee Jones' - despite him being given the title subject. Javier Bardem was truly creepy - a great performance.
