Rating:

cult of personality gillian anderson watched on itunes. always wanted to see this; big fan of forest whitaker, and he won the oscar for his role as idi amin here. even though whitaker won the award, this movie is really driven by james mcavoy as he's the real main character in which the film follows. even though this movie is based on true events, this is a fictional story, but is still shot more like a biopic and is hurt by that. all the acting is strong (the cast is great), but the direction is flawed. still a solid film. read more
