Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Questionable motives and unbelievable decisions are relatively small potatoes compared with the Sputnik-size plotholes.

rotten:
Like a stripper who gets naked too quickly, the lukewarm spy thriller "The Double" lays out its big plot twist early in the movie - and soon finds, shivering, that it has nowhere else to go.
