the devils double
the second i saw the trailer for this movie i was hooked!
one of saddam husseins sons, uday, wants a body double. thats the movie in a sentence i guess.
based on a true story.
dominic cooper (the rockstar from tamara drewe) plays both parts.
as latif (the double) his voice occasionally goes back into an english accent but i couldn't care less.
the story glides over the top of any of the deeper issues with iraqi/american relations and centres pretty much solely on uday hussein being a total ****ing ****.
this movie made me hate the bad guy and root for the good guy and i was satisfied with the end.
quite voilent tho!
8/10
also i wanted to watch this at the cinema but after a week it was relegated to 11pm showings at my local cinema, which is past my bed time! (as i type this at 1:30am).
but i did buy it on dvd instead of streaming it.
purely for the brit factor
