Movie Review: Last King of Scotland, The
Combined Rating: 67% (S:69%; P:66%) - Forrest Whitaker nails every aspect of this role. His Idi Amin is monstrous yet charismatic. He is a horror film character made real. This is a remarkable, transformative performance and yet not surprising. People have been waiting for Forrest Whitaker to find this kind of role and make it his signature and he finallly has. That his performance is far better than the film in which it exists is all that holds it back from being the best performance of any actor in the last year. See The Last King of Scotland for Forrest Whitaker.
