Double Take (1997)

decent movie that makes you laugh and then you forgetaboutit

This movie was very very confusing while I watched it. It was most likely done on purpose and it does come to a semi-satisfying resolution near the end. Overall, it's one of those movies you watch and then you forget about about 10 minutes afterwards. It's a typical cops and robbers and drug dealers movie except you don't know who exactly is the bad guy and who exactly is the good guy. Two people swap identities by swapping passports and clothing. I watched this about a week after seeing the Usual Suspects and I thought there were a few attempts to copy of the Usual Suspects. From the confusion that is only revealed near the end to the bulletin board with all the pictures, I definitely sensed lots of Usual Suspect coming off it. The movie can be fairly amusing at times and it's definitely very humourous! Plus there's a really cute, fluffy dog in it :) Watch it if you want some quick, easy entertainment but if you're looking for July 30, 2001

Craig Sheffer fans will love this movie!

I will try and be objective, but I will admit that I rented this because I am a HUGE fan of Craig Sheffer! It's not his best, but it's pretty good. It's a simple story about mistaken identity. A man goes to jail for murder and "Conner", Sheffer's character, is the witness who puts him there. "Conner" has a razor sharp memory and is "101%" sure that he has the right man. A while later, "Conner" see's this murderer on the street! He becomes convinced that he's put the wrong man in prison, so he goes on a crusade to prove the man behind bars is innocent. Rent the film and take it from there. I will say that Sheffer is very, very good in this film. He has an extremely expressive face. He can say more with a look than some actors can say with pages of dialogue. I don't know why he hasn't received the recognition he deserves. February 6, 1999
