Review of The Double (2011) by Jordan T — 21 May 2012

I can see where the criticism of this movie playing its hand poorly comes from. And certainly, I would have made a few different choices in regards to specific storytelling choices and pacing. But overall, it's a spy thriller that held my attention and kept me asking questions throughout.

It made me think more about motivation than who was going to shoot who, and that's a success. This is not a Bond movie, but I think it is more than worth a watch if you like a reasonably realistic intelligence film.
