The Last King Of Scotland
Excellent Movie - A must see - FrostyFoxy
Last King of Scotland is one of the movies of the year. The portrayal of Ugandan leader Idi Amin is an excellent movie and both well produced and very well acted. Forrest Wittacker is brilliant as the main character and will surely be nominated for an Oscar if not win it. The movie is both entertaining and informative and just a very interesting story for people of all ages and definetly one not to be missed.

Ouch! - Fozz
Forest Whittaker is just not appreciated (or used enough). Maybe that's his choice but whatever it is he has to appear in more movies as he generally always brings something to the part. ... MORE
