The Devil's Double

[funthing29]

Orange just tweeted about the comp so hopefully the email address is up and running again?

I really wanna see this too. I did notice that the competition through orange/cakegroup isn't working as the email keeps bouncing back.

Mine bounced back several times, too. Gave up in the end!

Saw the trailer for this when i went to see Transformers 3 and it looked like a really good film.

Might even have to p*y to see this if no decent London screenings pop up...

I love both Cooper and Ludivine but I have zero interest in this film, free tickets or no

Yah, sounds ridiculous.

Looks like DD is getting the ''no carpet'' treatment.

Lol...indeed and there weren't any paparazzi apart from maybe their in house ones. This really should have been a Q&A with Latif, which would have been much more interesting than a non-premiere premiere. They were even selling M&Ms and the like with a stand at the front of the auditorium! Some people went up to the stand with their ticket thinking it was free.
I really liked the first 2/3s of the film, definitely a good antidote to summer popcorn blockbusters. It's the kind of storyline, I will google now to find out more about what's true and what wasn't.
Whilst it's probably Dominic Cooper at his best (I've not really been a fan), will he at least get a bafta nod for Best Actor? Time will tell.
The last 1/3 is weak, but maybe that's how things happened in real life and you can't really fault the film if that's true. Has anyone read the book yet?
They should really have done a Q&A with Latif. I wonder if anyone was distracted by Dominic Cooper playing a Middle Eastern character (and sometimes throwing in an English accent).
Definitely a refreshing summer drama break from all those wizards and robots, 7.5/10

I also attended the premiere tonight. I saw the usual losers outside. There's this one guy I saw at the Transformers UK premiere at IMAX Waterloo. He's an autograph collector. He just stands there like a massive moron with his stupid little book and his stupid little pen, waiting for somebody vaguely famous to come along. If he wasn't such great mocking material for my mates and I, I would probably slap him. But anyway, regardless of him, he didn't manage to ruin my evening and my enjoyment for what is an extremely good film. It manages to blend drama, comedy and thriller all into one, and occasionally throws in a bit of gore. There's some really hard-hitting stuff featured - the rape and murder of minors is prominent, so it definitely earns it's 18 certificate. Sadly the film tailed off towards the end. It felt a little too long and drawn out. It could easily have been trimmed down. I thought Dominic Cooper was superb. Yes, his English accent occasionally creeps in, but it was no worse than Robert Lindsay breaking into full cockney when playing Onassis! Anyway, a thoroughly enjoyable evening, and four stars for the film, AKA 8/10!

Don't you think that is a bit harsh? I am saddened and embarrassed that anyone can could write such belittling words about someone else. Sorry if I posted out of turn and is non film related.
