tudes towards African atrocities in general.
Western viewers should feel at least some complicity in the events depicted here since Idi Amin came to power with Western approval and he stayed in power as long as he did with Western support. However, without accepting all the implications of that judgment, there is plenty in this film to wonder at.
Forest Whitaker’s Amin draws us into his character with much credible affability and good will only to repel us all the more with his acts of bloody outrage.
Nicholas Garrigan is well-played by James McAvoy (best remembered as Mr.Tumnus the faun in “The Chronicles of Narnia”) who manages to maintain our sympathy and concern for a character who is completely out of his moral depth.
Forest Whitaker has recreated a monster as memorable as Anthony Hopkins’ Hannibal Lecter or Ian McKellen’s Richard III and for that alone this movie is well worth seeing.
