2.0 out of 5 stars Uneven 10 Jan 2013
By Whinbrook
Format:DVD
An uneven story with some poor continuity and lack luster acting. Poor performances from Kim Cattrall with a rotten Irish accent and Brendan Gleeson with, as the evil twin, a rotten northern English accent. They have both been better in other films. Could have been more suspenseful and gripping as the concept had potential but it turned farcical in the end - was it trying to be a black comedy ? Painted Irish society as broken and lost too - perhaps it was a tale of greed and selfishness but with a cliched and corny redemption message at the end.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ragged Tale 27 Jan 2011
By James D. Long - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Overall, this is not what I'd call a total failure but I was expecting more from John Boorman, the director who gave us the likes of Deliverance, Zardoz, Excalibur, The Emerald Forest and, one of my all-time favorites, Hope and Glory. In this uneven mix of comedy and drama, a successful Irish real estate tycoon tries to fend off an aggressive doppleganger who might be the product of his imagination or it could be his actual twin. The plot held a lot of potential and could have been an entertaining affair but it's spoiled by characters who don't ring true--the most glaring example is the main character's Marxist-spouting son. Ultimately, the tone of the film is so off-base that director Boorman could have changed the entire film into a farce by simply replacing the dramatic music score with lighter comedic cues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie!! 27 Sep 2009

I love movies made in Ireland or the U.K. and this one does not disappoint. Great story, great actors. If you're into a good storyline without anyone getting blown up, decapitated, terrorized, etc., then you'll really enjoy this film.

Goood movie, very interesting story line, well acted. Wish Ciaran Hinds had a bigger part. Again a very good Irish movie.
