Director Richard Gray, the writer's husband and a man obsessed with slow motion, doesn't build necessary tension into the playfully pulpy material.

New York Times

The movie, instead of embracing its budgetary limitations, gives off a distracting sense of trying to punch above its weight class.

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Common Sense Media

It simply tries to juggle too many characters, plots, back stories, and motivations; by the time it all comes to a head, viewers might feel that they've missed something.

Rated: 2/5

Fans of neo-noir thrillers could do worse than to give The Lookalike a look.

it's neither clever enough to get away with being stupid, nor stupid enough to just be nasty fun.

Kinda clunky but a somewhat original story and execution. A range of miscast people though, or it came off as that do to production/editing.

Drug lord William Spinks has a curious obsession with Sadie Hill, and uses family friends Bobby and Frank to get to her. But when Sadie's death jeopardizes a major deal, Bobby and Frank set out to find a replacement - a lookalike - to fool Spinks. The shady plan propels an ex-basketball champion, a deaf beauty, an addict, and an aspiring actress into an unlikely romance and a desperate quest to start over. - Justin Long, Jerry O'Connell, John Corbett, Scottie Thompson
