The Lookalike

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

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

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.

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