The Last King of Scotland : by Kevin MacDonald

Forest Whitaker the actor , says " You are my closest advisor " and hell breaks loose in the life of a wannabe scottish Dr Nicolas Garrigon played by James McAvoy.

The Last King of Scotland creates a regime : no fear , all freedom for the common man in Uganda . Promises given under oath by the President (Army Chief ) furnishes a smooth road ahead.

"Food,Infrastructure,Roads and all the common amenities" .

Dr. Garrigon , one fine day saves the life of the President and is caught in a whirpool full of Deceit,Mass Killings,Apartheid and Hidden Propaganda

Forest Whitaker , is one of the finest performances I have witnessed on screen by an actor leave alone black one!!! (Oscar truly deserved)

He is a paradox ,switching between being a mean tyrant to a closest ally.

The last moments of the film keeps you spellbound , too good to be a true story!!!!!!!!

Must Watch for getting into the psyche of an African Nation conglomeration....

Rating : 4.5/5.0
