2. The Devil's Double

"Yes, you're right - I am a little like Tony Montana."
The Devil's Double is a bit like a low budget Face/Off. It has one quality acting bod playing two roles, rather than Nic Cage and Johnny Travelator playing two.

Dominic Cooper  is excellent in the central roles - as both the psychotic Uday and the other nicer bloke with slightly different hair and better teeth.

The film's biggest problem is that it doesn't know whether it wants to be a full on Scarface 'em up or a (semi) serious film about Saddam's nutty regime. Overall it's an enjoyable mess that has some memorable moments - especially the special wedding gift Uday likes to pass on to newly married brides.
