The Last King of Scotland -- 3.5/4 stars
Forest Whitaker most definitely deserved the Oscar for his role in this movie. James McAvoy was great in it also but nothing like Whitaker.
The movie started off extremely strong but the last 1/4th of it was slightly less emotionally convincing. Great, great movie, very close to 4 star worthy. Had lots of memorable moments and I swear Whitaker is secretly a Ugandan considering how well he played that role and the accent.
