The Last King of Scotland



I admired this film on every level but for some reason I never really got involved. I'm not sure why though. Every thing was in place, the acting was lovely, the story was interesting but for some reason I never really became immersed in this film the way I did with The Queen. (same screenwriter by the way, Peter Morgan)

Forest Whittaker was great and so was James McAvoy (remember the half-horse guy from Narnia, that's him. He's a very charming actor).

Anyway, that's all. It's a fine film but it left me cold. Oh well.

PS I must confess I did spend 20 minutes in the bathroom with intense diarrhea in the middle of the film but before that I still wasn't totally engrossed so, who knows?
