Title: brilliant and terrible
Product review: going on the lines of other movies set in Africa such as Blood Diamond and Hotel Rwanda, this movie is great yet extremely disturbing. it showed how great and ugly people could be, that no one is fully good or evil.you have the naive scotish doctor who has a nack at trying to get in bed with married women, and you have a dictator who puts on such a good front you don't actually see his true colors until later. the character development and acting was impressive. you really felt as if these actors could have actually been the people. there were little to no instances of them breaking character which made this story unbelievably good.there were disturbing scenes, but that comes with the territory. just like in Hotel Rwanda with the genocide of the hutus and tutsies; and in Blood Diamond where people were enslaving their own just for finding diamonds. this was another eye opening movie, one that i can't unsee and almost makes you wish the movie wasn't based on the truth.
