Review of The Double (2011) by Michael M — 10 Mar 2012
I bounced between 2.5 and 3. It kinda' feels like it takes a bunch of elements from better movies (Bourne, Salt, etc) and blends them all together, and the results aren't that great. The twist at the end is unexpected, but it also comes out of nowhere.
The directing isn't the greatest, editing is choppy, and the screenplay gets downright confusing. In the end though, I'll admit, I kinda' liked it. Gere's lead performance is surprisingly enthralling, and while the payoff isn't the greatest I can't deny that I was still completely enthralled in the process.
It's not perfect, and there's better movies out there, but I enjoyed it well enough.
