The things outside the film are more engaging than the film

If you know some background of the times, you will think this film is better, otherwise you will think this film is just a little angry young Scottish young man, a doctor who just graduated and went to Uganda to create the world in a hurry, and then accidentally met the then President of Uganda Amin, and then became his personal doctor, from the beginning of thinking that Amin was a pro-people president to discovering that Amin was a tyrant, and then began a story of terror, resistance, and finally escape. In fact, the hijacking and Israeli hostage incidents at the end of the film are even better. The Mercedes-Benz that Nicholas drove in the film was the protagonist of the Israeli raid. Israel actually flew a plane to Uganda to solve the hostage incident with arms. It was very courageous. It was later made into the movies "The Victory of Entebbe", "The Raid on Entebbe" and "Operation Thunder". ————Xingma Daily http://niuma.blogspot.com

Sarah Merrit: Touché.
Nicholas Garrigan: I still want to make a difference, you know.
Sarah Merrit: Really?
Nicholas Garrigan: Yes, really. Want to have fun, too, though. Bit of adventure. Something different.
Sarah Merrit: That's a lot of things.
Nicholas Garrigan: Is it?

Idi Amin: You see, Jonah? This is the sort of man a president needs around him. Someone who is not afraid to speak his mind.
