The Last King of Scotland

The Last King of Scotland

I was pleasantly surprised that this movie was somewhat engaging, and this is coming from someone who had no idea at all about the storyline. I actually thought that Forest Whitaker was Scottish and was playing the Scotland’s last king!! How ignorant of me!

He was actually playing the role of one time Uganda’s President, Idi Amin. While the ‘cute in a certain light’ James McAvoy, plays Dr. Nicholas Garrigan, a Scottish doctor who chose to be in Uganda as opposed to joining this father’s practice.

When the doctor arrives he’s greeted by a blonde, messy hair, Agent Scully! Of course here she’s Sarah Merrit.

Then blah blah blah, the doctor meets the president, the president loves him to death and gives him a job as an “adviser and personal physician” then blah blah blah.


I can’t tell you the rest of the story without spoiling it but I will say there are maybe 2 gruesome stomach turning scenes and that Scottish burr is very addictive!!
