Anyone seen The Last King of Scotland?

Has anyone seen the The Last King of Scotland? I am planning to go see it tonight. I watched the trailer online and Forest Whitaker seemed to get Idi Amin down to perfection. It seems like a really good movie into the mind of the evil Amin.

I thought it was pretty good, if not great. Good acting overall, and Forest Whitaker is excellent, always been a fan of his.

You mean, it's not about William II?!

I'd like to see the film...don't know how widely it will be distributed.

The movie was absolutely brillaint. Forest was incredible as he usually is. The movie did a great job of showing how horrible Amin was and what life was like living in Uganda during his reign. I would recomend seeing if you get the chance to.
