Jan 02, 2013An intriguing foreign thriller, The Double Hour is a great mystery filled with numerous twists and turns, and although the ending is a little unsatisfying, everything that builds up to it is very suspenseful and will likely keeping guessing up until said ending.Joey S Super Reviewer

Jun 16, 2012This Italian thriller directed by Guiseppe Capotondi is, for sure, something which will surprise you after pressing play button. An unpredictable hour and a half of a continuous story reshuffling like a narrative deck of cards dealing always a new hand which will widen your eyes even more than the previous one... I don't think that anyone would remember the ending just a day after watching it, but the twists and turns in this exceptionally acted movie will make the journey to be remembered, not the destination... for a long time! At times you could feel frustrated that there are so many times a film proves you were wrong, and some viewers could treat it as fundamentally untrustworthy, but I enjoyed it. Kseniya Rappoport as Sonia was particularly striking in this story which started out as an interesting drama with a little bit of romance but soon turned into a mystery psychological thriller! If you developed a taste for ingenious movies and you like an unpredictable plot, unexpected twists, great characters, unique location, great performances - try this one!Panta O Super Reviewer

Apr 10, 2012I probably would've liked this movie a lot better if the majority of the plot wasn't exactly like an episode of Futurama, one of the better episodes of the series in fact. Of course the events are different, but the idea behind it is EXACTLY like that episode. The movie is still good however with some good and tense moments. I think the movie, to me, sort of falls apart after the "twist" because it just felt cheap, even if it does make sense with the context of this story, it just felt like a cheap way to pay off what had been going on up until that point. The acting is strong, Kseniya Rappoport is good in her role and the rest of the cast is as well, though nothing outstanding. So overall a good, if disappointing, movie.Jesse O Super Reviewer
