Review of The Double (2011) by Matt E — 12 Feb 2012
It seems to me that several of the critics must have walked out of the movie, or written their reviews before watching the film.
#1 it is a dark spy/thriller NOT a buddy cop movie. There is no comic relief. Stop trying to find it in serious lines.
#2 It is only the first plot twist which is given away in the trailer. (I think it would have been better if it didn't) There are a few more.
#3 Richard Gere's performance is solid. He is very believable as an operative who, after 20+ years is tired of the race, and just wants to be left in peace (as well as a calculating sword or vengeance.
I regret to say that I missed this film in the theaters. I caught it on NetFlix. I enjoyed it.
