THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE

July 24th, 2011

THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE- 2011. Synopsis by Netflix. “Dominic Cooper stars as Uday Hussein — Saddam Hussein’s depraved, decadent elder son — and as Latif Yahia, the army lieutenant forcibly drafted to be his body double, in this drama based on Yahia’s autobiographical novel. With his family’s fate on the line, Yahia surrenders his identity to embody the hated figure but gains a conspirator in Uday’s concubine, Sarrab (Ludivine Sagnier), as he plots his escape.”

The movie is discussed in a NY Times article (not a review) on 7/24/11. TRDB.

11/4/11- Weak reviews– some hating this movie and others saying it was OK. I had planned to see it but now I think I’ll skip it. TRDB.

11/29/11- I shouldn’t have given this one a try. What garbage, from the acting with phony accents to the gangster like action. Miss this one! TRDB. Netflix.
