LONG LIVE THE KING

Outstanding performance by Forrest Whittaker in his interpretation of the devious, charming, sociopathic, brutally murderous General Idi Amin Dada’s descent into paranoia and state terror.

    Truly an amazing movie. Halfway through the film I said “Amin for President!” owing to his charming, get-things-done style. Later, however, the massacres made me realized he could not get through the primaries…

    The character the white doctor is loosely based on is even worse — far worse — in real life.

    Yes, I’ve read something along those lines, some nutcase British Army Major ?
