A pretty interesting and entertaining look at the craziest Hussein (at least according to this movie). It's probably not all true, but I wasn't that worried about it. It got slow at times, but some good performances help you chug through those. Overall a rewarding watch.

With the exception of Dominic Cooper, every aspect of this film is an abomination.

A one-note film if ever there was one. Uday Hussein was a raving nutjob - yes, I get it. Has this film anything else to offer? Not really. Pretty tedious after a while.

i hate when movies compare thhemselves to scarface and goodfellas. Thos movies were amazing so the devils double should have blown me away. It was interesting to see a different view of iraq since we see mostly visions of war in the media and the story had lots of violence and vulgarity which is basically a seller for me but it was missing a climax, it never reached the bar it set for itself.

"The Devil's Double" is an uneasy mix of low points and sporadic high points, the latter, however, justify a watch on their own due to how incredible they are. The low being its inability to competently fill its running time, its truly awful CGI and the monotonous romance sub-plot. The high points being the fantastic performances of Philip Quast and Dominic Cooper, who completely justifies being in Mamma Mia and the sole reason to watch the film. Also a fascinating insight into true events.

Destined to be a forgotten film. Tons of potential but it barely cracks the surface on what a filthy depraved animal Uday Hussein really was. Moves a bit too slow for such an action packed film. Impressive how much Dominic Cooper looks like Hussein too but it just wasn't as shocking as it should've been to be memorable or anything special. A wasted effort

I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. Dominic Cooper really manages to see both the utterly insane psychotic Uday and the sympathetic "damn if you do or don't" character of Latif. The film is presented from Latif's point of view but is visually from Uday's position with very flashy cinematography, which makes it appropriately jarring and unsettling. Certainly worth checking out.

lurid and fun, but doesn't have much to say about its characters or milieu

Very intriguing story. While I'm sure it takes its liberties with reality, this film certainly paints a picture of what it probably felt like to be in service to a madman like Uday Hussein. Dominic Cooper is a really promising up-and-coming actor and he really does a neat trick transforming himself into the vain, ugly, and psychotic son of a dictator.

the fact that cooper plays both main characters is quite the feat, and he does a good job at representing both sides of good and evil. overall though, the movie didn't grab me like i thought. the moments of violence were extreme almost to a point of gross out. otherwise it was a sex fueled story of a madman.

I liked it, but maybe because almost all of it is shot in Malta and very recognizable.

One of Dominic Cooper's best performances to date, its a little slow, but solid.

good job. how much of that was true?

The film disastrously focuses on Uday's outrages and does so without any moral perspective. "Rape, torture, disembowelment, killing, drinking, drugs and decadence" is practically the film's synopsis. Madness is its misjudged rationale.
