Review of The Double (2014) by Dominic C — 17 May 2014
Went in with high hopes and they were met to be honest. Personally I was quite pleased that Ayoade takes his time setting up the plot and after a promising opening there is a worry that you will be disappointed with the ending but I was quite satisfied at the end of the film.
Jesse Eisenberg is fantastic in both roles of Simon and James. For me this is the film I would recommend over Zombieland, Adventureland and the Social Network if they asked for a great Eisenberg performance.
The film feels very similar to Brazil especially in regards to Eisenberg's character and his work of place along with his fantasies of being some sort of crime fighter. Personally I would recommend it although anyone expecting any belly laughs will be disappointed but its funnier than films like Anchorman 2 in my personal opinion.
