Suspenseful and enthralling biographical drama about the notorious Ugandan dictator Idi Amin (Whitaker). Forest Whitaker’s portrayal of Amin is incredibly uncanny. He’s appropriately despotic and paranoid. But Whitaker also adds random dark humor or disarming levity to his performance. It’s genuinely unpredictable and unsettling. The look of the movie cleverly mimics the grainy documentary style of 1970s filmmaking.
