Review: The Last King of Scotland is the story of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, and his Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan.

Garrigan has recently graduated and is looking for a job of his choice. He leaves for Uganda aiming to help the less fortunate people there.

There he quickly befriends Idi Amin, the President of Uganda and becomes his personal physician.

While he enjoys the perks of being associated with Amin, Garrigan gradually sees Amin growing into a brutal dictator.

This is an excellent historical biopic, and a true must-see film.
