One Sentence Movie Reviews: The Last King of Scotland

24 Aug 2008

I’ve decided to start a series of movie reviews where I summarize a film for you in a single sentence and then give that film a score from A+ (wunderbar) though F (don’t bother with this one). Just imagine putting an end to all of those excruciating hours spent in your living room, sitting on your cat urine stained couch, munching stale Dorritos, trying desperately to hear the television while your neighbors argue in the apartment above you! Your time has come, my friend. For now there are one sentence reviews that capture the plot and spirit of the films that you wish to rent. You’ll never need to watch another movie again. And so we begin:

Title: The Last King of Scotland

Release Year: 2007

Director: Kevin Macdonald
