Review of The Double (2011) by Terry W — 20 Sep 2014
With the negative reviews I almost passed this film by but am glad I didn't as it was a thoroughly enjoyable thriller.
Yes the plot did make some unlikely jumps but what film these days EVER stays true to reality, sometimes a story needs a little help to keep the excitement and be told in 90 minutes. There was nothing too outrageous.
Yes you do find out the identity of Cassius early on but although other critic felt that spoilt it I felt it ratcheted up the tension on when would the FBI figure it out and there was still a final twist at the end which worked well.
Give it a go, you'll enjoy it.
