      Critics Consensus

      Riddled with hollow characters and ludicrous plotting, The Double just isn't worth the trouble.

      Jelisije J An enjoyable standard spy drama that I was surprised it was made in the late 2000's because this film feels more like a 1990's spy flick. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Steve C It seems like a variation of US Marshalls from the 1990s, until the end. Good try. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Kristopher C Need to pass time? The writing is horrible, but Topher Graces solid performance vs Richard Geres phoned in performance is well worth the watch in this mostly action-less spy/thriller Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review Audience Member Old School Stunts, great synopsis! All star cast!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a movie in which Richard Gere's character is both the assassin, and a member of upper level law enforcement deceiving and pretending to be pursuing the assassin. Imagine that, a predator on the police force. FBI, I think it was. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review william k Run-of-the-mill spy thriller with at least one twist too many; only fairly entertaining.

      Robert Koehler Variety Like a magician performing one too many tricks, "The Double" overplays its deception while spinning a mildly diverting yarn. Aug 3, 2016 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com With nothing resembling a character worth rooting for, the fact that the plot of The Double just gets sillier and sillier makes it one of the most annoying films of the year. Rated: 1.0/5.0 Nov 4, 2011 Full Review Stephanie Merry Washington Post Questionable motives and unbelievable decisions are relatively small potatoes compared with the Sputnik-size plotholes. Rated: 1/4 Nov 4, 2011 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Character motivations, sequences of events, and that thing called plausibility are all a bit offensively slapdash. Rated: 1/5 Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X In short, for fans of spy films of the '80s and '90s, particularly those starring Gere, The Double will not disappoint. Rated: B Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Tony Medley tonymedley.com Richard Gere and Topher Grace say the lines and hit their marks like professionals do, but almost from the opening scene it's clear that this is a thriller that is less than thrilling. Rated: 2/10 Aug 3, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
