Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate's THE DEVIL'S DOUBLE takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Baghdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein's palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the "royal family" when he's ordered to become the 'fiday' – or body double – to Saddam's son, the notorious "Black Prince" Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality.

Critics Consensus: The Devil's Double has plenty of gangster spectacle and Dominic Cooper ably playing off his dual roles, but this crime epic struggles to balance the fun of bad behavior with the dead serious crimes of its subject.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Though it’s not a very insightful or illuminating experience, it’s a visceral one that can’t help but hold your attention.

Cooper is terrific in his two roles, but he's much better than the film itself, which is as flashy and violent as the decadent world it depicts - and just as shallow.

Charleston City Paper

Felicia Feaster

[A] mercilessly long-winded film with little on its mind beyond cataloging Uday's depravity.

A truly satisfying resolution is slightly out of reach when there's less room to play fast and loose with accuracy, yet there's no denying that this was one historical footnote well worth exploiting.

A brave experiment that unfortunately fails within the first few minutes due to a combination of miscasting and all out crassness.
