A fascinating story about a real life figure well imposed with a fictional character. I really liked how it did not impress judgment on Amin instantly but instead you saw what the doctor saw about him, and got see both his friendly and very unfriendly side. It works both as a historical perspective film and as a thriller. I enjoyed in both realms and Whitaker is great as Amin.
