The Devil's Double Ratings & Reviews
Humpty
February 23, 2025
Count Dankula brought me here. Absolute Mad Lad.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
I'm not sure what it all adds up to, but The Devil's Double puts its hooks in you and keeps them there.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
The hero of "The Devil's Double" may get upstaged by the villain, but that's not exactly bad news for star Dominic Cooper, since he plays both parts.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
[It] does pick a solid lead actor in Dominic Cooper, whose impressive performance does a lot to distract from the story problems and strange tone shifts.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Though Cooper plays look-a-like characters, it is always clear which of the two men is on screen at any moment, including those moments when Yahia is impersonating Uday. That says a lot about the inner wellspring of great acting.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The bodies pile up, but they don't amount to anything.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
Tamahori tries to top off this already long Arab immorality tale with gratuitous swirls of romance and heroism.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The Devil's Double simply offers a trip through hell on a one-way track, like a spook-house ride at the amusement park meant to titillate and excite the senses and then deposit the rider/viewer safely on the other side in the full light of day.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Bring Wet-Naps to "The Devil's Double.'' It's coated and fried in the same batter KFC uses for Extra Crispy chicken. The movie might be greasier, actually.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Equally as offensive as the movie's smorgasbord of smut and violence is the lingering whiff of colonial-era orientalism, a Western predilection for regarding Eastern cultures as innately idle, lascivious, irrational, and thus ripe for intervention.
Film.com
William Goss
The elements of tyranny, treachery and temptation are all there in one true-life package, but in the hands of director Lee Tamahori, The Devil's Double plays more like a melodrama than a docudrama.
The New Yorker
Bruce Diones
The movie is too busy seeming audacious to add up to anything affecting, but its excesses are fascinating to watch.
Dig Boston
Monica Castillo
Is this entertainment, or an interesting bit of commentary on how little we know about the people who reside in the ivory towers of dictatorships? Perhaps a bit of both.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The story inspires much excess, and Tamahori rises to the occasion.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Really it's just a trashy bid to be the "Scarface" of Mesopotamia.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Dominic Cooper gives a riveting dual performance in "The Devil's Double," but the movie is a relentless one-note drama that loses its momentum halfway through.
Shockya.com
Perri Nemiroff
Good moments and less enthralling ones, but both Cooper and the curiosity of how true to life this tale may be are there to help you maintain some degree of interest.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The movie is provocative but rarely thought-provoking, and it stops short of any startling psychological or political insight.
Los Angeles Times
Despite numerous pluses - Lee Tamahori's vigorous direction, handsome cinematography, outstanding production design, an impressive dual performance by Dominic Cooper as Uday and Latif - the film is more wearying than entertaining.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
This is a breakthrough star performance from a terrific actor, Dominic Cooper, getting a chance to let it rip. Just don't expect a docudrama.
