The movie narrates the experiences of a Scottish Doctor with Idi Amin, the Uganda general well known for his genocide of 300000 of his own country men.
Forest Whitaker plays the role of the general. But the truth is that u jst cant find Whitaker here : all u see is Idi Amin. U laugh at his wits. U get inspired by his intelligent speech. U admire his commanding powers. U are moved by his friendliness. U are attracted to his charms. U pity him when he gets into danger. U cringe whenever he barks out orders. At the end, u hate and fear him for whatever he is. The guy is simply superb.
The doctor does all that are said above. And when he panics realising his mistake, all hell breaks loose on him. What happens next is the ending.
Watch it if you want a very different potrayal of a man who once shook the whole world with his actions. It is effective, engaging and definitely intimidating.
