imdb says Action, Biography, Drama: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1270262/superhero wrote:Thanks! but I still don't know what it's about. I am assuming drama, but all the recent Middle East set films were more action-based, Green Zone etc.
The things I do for people who don't google themselves...
Baghdad 1987, Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is taken to see his former schoolmate Uday (also played by Cooper), eldest son to Saddam Hussein. Latif is told that a great honour had been bestowed upon him: because of the great likeness between them, he has been chosen to be Uday's ‘fiday’ - his body double. Trapped, tortured and fearful for the safety of his family, Latif has no choice but to comply.
A chilling vision of the House of Saddam Hussein comes to life as Latif is forced to become part of Uday’s world, witness to the horror of his insane life of debauchery, excess and brutality. A world entrenched in betrayal and corruption and an experience for which he almost pays with his life on more than one occasion.
THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE is based on true events and in UK cinemas on Friday, 12th August.

Re: The Devil's Double
Had moments, Dominic Cooper is absolutely brilliant in it, but despite an engaging first act, the rest of the film falls into bland thriller nothingness, and the key component of the two leads having a sort of friendship is never realised so the emotional impacts of the final act seem diminished.

Re: The Devil's Double
Thanks Ethan! It feels like that kind of a film. As people have said Middle eastern set films have been box office poison. Not sure if I am looking forward to this.

This is the message I got several times:funthing29 wrote:It didn't bounce back for me.soonforgotten wrote:I really wanna see this too. I did notice that the competition through orange/cakegroup isn't working as the email keeps bouncing back.
"Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

And again just now... I don't get it.
