Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
A better film would undoubtedly have been a quieter, more reflective one, less tempted by Grand Guignol. But it is very watchable...

Rating: 9/10 --
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.

This rambunctious romp is not for the faint-hearted but it is packed with over-the-top lines to quote for weeks after.

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

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.

Rating: 2/5 --
A brave experiment that unfortunately fails within the first few minutes due to a combination of miscasting and all out crassness.

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

Product Description:
Dominic Cooper (AN EDUCATION) headlines director Lee Tamahori's fact-based docudrama centering on the nightmarish experiences of an Iraqi army lieutenant whose life became a living hell after he was hand-selected to be a "fiday" (body double) for Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's ruthless son Uday. Baghdad, 1987: Iraqi soldier Latif Yahia (Cooper) becomes privy to the inner workings of the royal family after receiving an offer he can't refuse. Desperate to protect his family and terrified of making any fatal missteps, Latif studies Uday's every personal tick in order to become the spitting image of the so-called "Black Prince." While some Iraqis might have been honored to be presented with such a unique opportunity, Uday's unparalleled sadism and debauched lifestyle quickly began to eat away at the very core of Latif's soul. As war with Kuwait looms on the horizon, Latif finds himself increasingly drawn to Uday's ravishing mistress Sarrab (Ludivine Sagnier), a woman with her own terrifying tales to tell about time spent with Iraq's cruelest son.
