The Devil's Double is a fantastic film that features a central performance so compelling, you'd be foolish to look away even for a second.

Dominic Cooper is bloody brilliant.

Never develops into anything beyond a concept.

...a sporadically intriguing yet disastrously undercooked thriller.

Audience Reviews for The Devil's Double

View All
A spectacular cinematic tour de force. A masterpiece in it`s own right. Director, Lee Tamahori crafts his finest and most dazzling piece of work yet. It`s Scarface meets Goodfellas. A wild movie ride that chills you to the core that blows you away. It`s utterly shocking, truly breathtaking and absolutely unforgettable. This movie is cool as hell. One of the most stylish, intense, remarkable and award-worthy movies of 2011. A wickedly entertaining and explosive crime-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It`s riveting, hard-boiled and action-packed. It has your heart-pounding and mind blown every step of the way. Dominic Cooper gives an amazing and unforgettable performance. A outstanding portrayel that will be talked about for years. Cooper is beyound brillaint playing these two different and explsoive characters and it sets the screen on fire, this is surely the making of a true movie star perfromance that deserves to be noticed. An electrifying and hard-edged adrenaline-rush.

A lazy and badly directed movie that depicts Uday Hussein as a ridiculous caricature in what is a redundant story devoid of any subtlety. Besides that, Dominic Cooper proves to be a mediocre actor, incapable of conferring any complexity to the two identical main characters.
