Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The music, the stilted acting, the plethora of hardware, all suggest that this reconstruction of Idi Amin's path to dictatorship might have been inspired by the puppet antics of TV's Thunderbirds series. True, the sickening truth of Amin's regime in Uganda should not be forgotten; but this testimony, like its subject, will probably just take its quiet leave.Author: FD
