Critics Consensus: Forest Whitaker's performance as real-life megalomaniac dictator Idi Amin powers this fictionalized political thriller, a blunt and brutal tale about power and corruption.

Reviews

Bay Area Reporter

David Lamble

An electric chemistry between McAvoy and Whitaker allows us to suspend our disbelief at the doctor's feckless gullibility...

A commendable action film rather than astute political portrait.

FULL REVIEW

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Charles Mudede

In Idi Amin, Whitaker reaches his artistic zenith.

The Last King Of Scotland will no doubt be picking up an armful of gongs come award season, and rightly so; it's not only lovingly shot and acted, but it evolves into one of the best thrillers of recent memory too.
