His character is broadly sketched, but with fine details, so that we know what we need to know about him, without knowing "all" about him. His slight figure and the youthful, negligent tone he adopts offer a perfect foil for Whitaker's intimidating physical presence and wild energy.
The supporting cast do a fine job. Simon McBurney, as the Machiavellian "diplomat" Stone, is cynicism and manipulation personified. His would have been an easy role to overdo, but McBurney manages to keep the character neatly in check. Kerry Washington plays Kay, the disappointed and virtually-abandoned wife of Amin one of several , as an appealing presence who makes Garrigan's reckless risk in allowing his attraction to her to develop into something more, believable and gives us enough to care about that we are repelled by both Amin's brutal treatment of her and Garrigan's complicity in drawing her into that risk.
David Oyelowo as Dr. Junju, the Ugandan doctor who runs the main hospital, depicts a man of real integrity and dedication, who has faced and understood perhaps better than anyone else in the story the real ramifications of what is unfolding.

The tension-building cross-cuts between various hand-held points of view of the last five minutes are worthy of Hitchcock. The music - mostly performed by African artists and much of it music from the traditional culture one notable exception is a unique and wonderfully dislocating rendition of "Me and Bobby McGee" - also underlines the exotic setting of the film, and reinforces the emotional tones - from abandoned joy to heartfelt laments - in which the film is colored.
