Dominic Cooper is bloody brilliant.

I'm not sure what it all adds up to, but The Devil's Double puts its hooks in you and keeps them there.

Even more tasteless than its main character's gold 'n' marble palace.

Never develops into anything beyond a concept.

Cooper is great, in a great part. But for an actor, not for his audience.

Despite numerous pluses - Lee Tamahori's vigorous direction, handsome cinematography, outstanding production design, an impressive dual performance by Dominic Cooper as Uday and Latif - the film is more wearying than entertaining.

Equally as offensive as the movie's smorgasbord of smut and violence is the lingering whiff of colonial-era orientalism, a Western predilection for regarding Eastern cultures as innately idle, lascivious, irrational, and thus ripe for intervention.

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.

Some of the cruelty in the film is hard to stomach, but frighteningly believable.

The hero of "The Devil's Double" may get upstaged by the villain, but that's not exactly bad news for star Dominic Cooper, since he plays both parts.

...a sporadically intriguing yet disastrously undercooked thriller.
August 17, 2011
It is a ghastly, riveting, dazzling piece of work.
