The Double
Ben Geary (Topher Grace) is a young FBI agent tasked with locating and putting an end to a mysterious soviet assassin known as Cassius, thought to be operating in the U.S.. To that end, former CIA operative Paul Shepherdson (Richard Gere) is called in to assist in the search with invaluable knowledge and skills to his credit. As the plot twists and turns the efforts to out Cassius means a challenge to the relationship between Ben and Paul. But who is really hunting who and why? 
With a minor spin to the typical crime scene investigative drama, old cop, new cop The Double makes attempts to twist and turn, obscuring the truth whilst revealing the same mysteries in the same breath. What does that mean? It tries to be cryptic but then ends up telling you everything you need to know, leaving a mildly interesting plot to drive the rest of the film — and that’s a problem, it’s only mildly interesting. All the parts of a decent film are here, I just wish the order of things and the method of how key turning points are revealed was done to leave more mystery. I guess I’m asking for more of a whodunit instead of a spoon feeder. A rental. The Double is rated PG-13.
