The Last King of Scotland: Directed by Kevin Macdonald. With Forest Whitaker, James McAvoy, Kerry Washington, Gillian Anderson. Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s.

In 1970, Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy) graduates from medical school in Scotland. With dull prospects at home, he decides to seek adventure abroad by working at a Ugandan missionary clinic run by Dr. David Merrit (Adam Kotz) and his wife, Sarah (Gillian Anderson).

The movie focus on Robert the Bruce hiding from other Scott's in a cave because of a price on his head. Actually the movie dose not show so much about Robert. Instead it's has it focus on another family with a mother telling stories about Robert to her kids.

Gripping, brutal and powerful, 'The Last King of Scotland' is a brilliant dramatic depiction of the life of megalomaniac Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin, perfectly portrayed by Forest Whitaker in his Oscar-winning performance as one of the greatest casting against type roles seen in film.
