A friend of mine is downloading the movie Last King of Scotland onto a DVD for me. Has anybody seen it and what are your views on it.

I thought it was well done. My only complaint is that it does not track the time that passed from the beging to the end of the movie (from about 1970 till the release of non- jewish passengers from Entebbe). Showed well the personality of Amin, both as presented to the world and on the private side. Amin was extremely well played. I checked on the web and the events shown seem to correct and in the right sequence.
Hope this helps,

Doug

Sorry, but that's the same type of piracy as those who sell repops on e-bay. It's illegal.
