Product Details:
As Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives one of the great performances of modern movie history (The Wall Street Journal), one that the Associated Press calls nothing short of Oscar’ – worthy. This is Amin’s incredible story as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young Scotsman who becomes the volatile leader’s personal physician, due in part to Amin’s unexpected passion for Scottish culture – Amin even proclaims himself The Last King of Scotland. Seduced by Amin’s charisma and blinded by decadence, Garrigan’s dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no escape. Inspired by real people and events, this gripping, suspenseful stunner is filled with performances you will never forget.
