'The Double' is Never a Moment Singular!

Richard Gere is one of my fave actors. The strands of her grey hair must have something to do with his charming energy on-screen--No. It isn't his hair; but rather his genuineness in emotions in handful of his films that of certainty will entertain.In this spy-action, Gere's skills are thrown to trash.

A retired CIA agent devoted his career in taking down a convicted killer codenamed: Cassius. A senator dies shrieking for Holme's or in this movie's reality, a duo of CIA and FBI agent's is probably of the best choice, help. The CIA veteran (Richard Gere) finds himself back in action after seeing the senator's throat slit down, Cassius style and the youngster (Venom's host from Spidey 3, Topher Grace) is his Robin in this ridiculous spy game.

'The Double' is not a bore however it doesn't offer anything new to the field of spy-flicks. The film is made up of building blocks, in this event I will use the term 'lego'. I shall rephrase: The film is made up of legos that seem not to fit exactly, or hurtfully, even in the least logical way. In this movie's reality, or outside the screen in term: 'surrealism', a CIA agent got fans and a young gun from FBI is his fanboy. Oh, and there is a Russian prostitute, too! With all of the invariable flaws throughout the film, there is a piece of glaring sunlight of novelty. Stephen Moyer from HBO's True Blood is in here playing over-the-top a Russian thug who swallows a pair of AA batteries and then spits them out upon arrival in a hospital, of course Moyer will escape. That again my friends is an unacceptable surrealistic scene--well, at least it's something new.

In his first-directorial debut, Michael Brandt may have poked in the theaters but at the end of the day, people would agree that 'The Double' is of Direct-to-DVD level. While chase scenes are gripping, novelty somehow fades out off of the list of the film.
