The Last King of Scotland (2006)

Forest Whitaker finally got the role he deserved in this political kick in the head. He towers over every scene he’s in with a ferocious intensity that hurt my eyes to watch. He plays a Ugandan Dictator with a fiery and temperamental personality. It’s painted very black and white even when it’s purposing not to be, but it’s so damn good that it kept me hooked regardless. It's based on real events, but I don’t know how accurate it is politically.
