JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Hobbes2 This movie is full of complex plot twists, which can be rather difficult to follow and keeps you guessing till the end. Honestly, if it hadn't been for a few inexplicable jumps in the plot line, I'd have rated it higher. To explain more, would make this a spoiler, but suffice it to say, the "good guys" are scarce in this movie and just when you think you've guessed who's good and who's not, you'll probably find you're wrong.
samkan I'm too tired to think and be insightful, though I've had the energy to read some of the other reviews and I think most USERS got it right. There's enough nice scenery, things to try and figure out (though not that tough) and story here to keep one mildly entertained. Though if you're like me watching via streaming video and are pulled away at mid-point there is no guarantee the film will be finished later. I would bet the makers knew they were putting together a movie for the sake of making a movie, as opposed to being particularly inspired. WARNING: Kilmer has put on much weight. You'd think the makers would be smart enough to eliminate action, chase scenes, etc. Wrong. Val is seen too often outrunning fit men at a pace assuring last place at the local fundraising 5K race. Hey Val, the ambulance is right behind you and they've already closed the finish line reception.
Vincent The plot is silly, one hurried kiss and the two main characters have fallen so deeply in love they will risk their lives for each other.The acting is OK, Kilmer plays an over-weight doctor well, you can really believe he is struggling gamely to run and out of breath! The rest of the cast are OK.The story is a mess, none of it makes sense.The dialogue is poor.The ending is almost comical it is so ridiculous.This isn't a good film but if you can switch your brain off you can watch it.
charlytully At first I'm thinking this movie, DOUBLE IDENTITY, is more like this year's Liam Neeson flick, UNKNOWN, what with the possibility that Val Kilmer's doctor character has amnesia, or a split personality. A few minutes later plot developments show that DOUBLE IDENTITY is more exactly similar to THE TOURIST, as it becomes clear the doctor is what he says he is, and he's simply helping out the damsel in distress, played by Izabella Miko. Do Kilmer and Miko share more on-screen chemistry than Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie? Probably, but that really is not saying much. Are the plot twists of DOUBLE IDENTITY any more plausible than those of THE TOURIST? No, but at least not as much money was wasted in this film on pyrotechnics and Venetian scenery. One of the main faults I had viewing DOUBLE IDENTITY was a sense of deja vu; having seen this all before, along the lines of something Graham Greeney--maybe THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE. Certainly another quibble some viewers may share is that the ending of DOUBLE IDENTITY feels quite forced and rushed, with the loose ends tied up just a little too neatly. The denouement even has a made-for-TV movie-of-the-week quality; you almost expect to see Tom Selleck come strutting down that sidewalk!
