Review of The Devil's Double (2011) by Dann M — 14 Feb 2012
The Devil's Double is a surprisingly compelling drama that's based on true events. The story follows the life of Latif Yahia who was forced into being a body double for Uday Hussein, the Black Prince of Iraq, during the 80s and 90s.
Dominic Cooper gives an excellent performance as Latif/Uday, and Ludivine Sagnier gives an equally compelling performance as their mistress. The film presents a fascinating look at the sadistic mentality of Hussein, and of the imprisoned life of a body double.
The Devil's Double is an engrossing film about an intriguing subject.
