Body Double Ratings & Reviews
- Rob MacKinnonJuly 14, 2025Definitely the "most" De Palma.
- cultfilmlikerMay 29, 2025Well I definitely see where Dakota Johnson gets her…..sensuality from Hilarious and wildly transgressive in its use of sex and the adult film world as a setting Love the dancing music and the gorgeous coloring. Also his iconic split focus shots This man is wildly conspicuous at times lmao First thought was: that other dude stalked so long just for a purse-snatching!? lol I thought that love scene was a dream sequences. *immature boy voice* why was she in to that? Wild that Jake was able to evade the cops so easily! Zack and Miri definitely took a beat from this Couple of really good scares! The opening almost got me
- Ray HopkinNovember 16, 2024Marvel can learn a thing or two from watching the mid credits scene! This was a great movie, DePalma delivers a great, tense thriller, which a great cast and great soundtrack. The Relax scene was brilliant!
