Wow, the title just gives away the whole movie plot…NOT. But now I know scotts are humanitarian idiots with an amazing sense of adventure, poor self preservation skills, and just enough luck and balls to get by. I guess his (James McAvoy) main crime was being politically idealist and young helping people in a country (Uganda) he clearly didn’t understand. How could he be so smart and so dumb at the same time?
( Isn’t that a line in a movie somewhere? “You are the dumbest smart person”…oh yah I robot. )
Despite my whining the movie was entertaining for sure. I appreciated the historical and cultural insights mixed with the constant fear of death. Between that move and reading about Afghanistan, I am unbelievably proud and happy and thankful to live in the US. I may be clueless about the rest of the world, and I may be ok with that.
