Review of The Double

The Double (2013)
8/10
Quite Enjoyable
4 April 2014
This movie stars Jesse Eisenberg in a dual role. One as Simon James, who is awkward, shy and unnoticed by everyone and the other is James Simon, who is his double only in physical appearance, quite opposite personalities. Eisenberg was excellent in both these roles and great to watch as well. The supporting cast is quite good as well.

The story is about Simon James who just goes unnoticed in his work life despite working there for 7 years and his home life is not that better either. Then James Simon comes into his life and starts to do everything Simon James wanted to do instantly. This makes Simon take things into his own hands as his life gets worse.

I enjoyed the story. The dialogue was great and there wasn't many dull moments at all. The humour is quite dark, but funny. The cinematography and music were great as well. I did however feel that the ending could have been better, but it was still fine. A really enjoyable movie.
