Dr Garrigan (James McAvoy) expects to find exotism in Uganda. He certainly will find it, especially after meeting the country's President, Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker) and becoming his personal physician. A chain of events will change Garrigan's life, forever.

Absolutely wonderful, brilliant cast. I especially approve of Whitaker's "African" accent in English. Excellent portrayal of t... read more

I just recently saw a preview for this movie, and I knew I had to see it. Now that I have, I definitely wasn't disappointed. This was a well-told story that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

I really enjoyed this movie, despite some brutal scenes, which were not overly drawn out. Well written, excellently acted.

Astonishing!

"If you're afraid of dying it shows you have a life worth living."

The Last King of Scotland is an intense, embracing thriller inspired by the true historical events of a horrible dictatorship that grappled Uganda throughout the 1970s. In the contemporary period of filmmaking it's an arduous undertaking to discover a film that truly stands out. With this film director Kevin Macdonal... read more

It was supposed to be a wild adventure in a far off country, but when a naive young doctor arrives in 1970's Uganda - hoping for fun, sun and to lend a helping hand - he finds himself instead on a shocking ride into the darkest realm on earth: the human heart. This is the story of The Last King Of Scotland, a powerful thriller that recreates on screen the world of Uganda under the mad dictatorship of Idi Amin

“I was thoroughly entertained by this film from start to finish that does a decent job highlighting Idi Amin's brutal rise to power with incredible storytelling style and phenomenal acting, but it does lack vital context that could've made it a more life-changing cinematic experience that exposes the origins of this event. Not as powerful as Kevin Macdonald's greatest film, 'The Mauritanian.'” read more

"First viewing - May 22nd I've got to say I was not prepared for there to be as much humor in this film as there is. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a drama, but the interactions between McAvoy and Whitaker's characters are mostly fun and had me laughing consistently. Both actors give outstanding performances, and the rest of the cast does a very good job too. The story is compelling, and if it has a fault it's that we know this is the doctor's story and it could not be told had he not survi"
