A senator was murdered with the killer using the same MO as code name "Cassius" a former Russian agent assassin who was never caught. Gere is paired with Topher Grace, a young desk jockey from the FBI. Topher studied Cassius and wrote his thesis on him. He believes Cassius is alive and retired in the US and is the recent killer. Gere claims it is a copy cat killer and does not want to work with Topher.There is an early plot twist, something we get enough hints to clue us in. Even though Topher lacks field experience he is fairly savvy. As they seek out Cassius, bodies start to accumulate. Martin Sheen plays the head of the CIA. While an early mystery is solved for us, there are others that exist. There are action scenes, killings, and drama. I felt the acting brought the film down. Gere was wrong for that role. I really would have liked a hipper Travolta...

There are a couple of surprising plot twists in this film, one of which even surprised me. That's not an easy thing to do. On the other hand, that final twist is where the believability factor comes into play, but I won't say more. The cast, which includes Stephen Moyer, and Martin Sheen, is very good and director Michael Brandt, who wrote the screenplay with Derek Haas, keeps the film, apparently shot in Washington, D.C., moving along at a nice pace. Extras on the DVD from Image Entertainment include producer's interviews, plus audio...

I say B+, By Tony Heck "Follow me on Twitter!!! - @panther... (Belgrade, MT USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Double (DVD) "It's not Cassius...because he's dead." After a senator is murdered all clues point to a former Soviet assassin that CIA agent Paul Shepherdson (Gere) has killed. When he is brought out of retirement and teamed with a young FBI agent Ben Geary (Grace) they must work together to solve the mystery and stop him before he kills again. I should start by saying that this is the type of movie I really like. Murder mysteries that involve the FBI, CIA and politics. I was looking forward to watching this for a while and I was not disappointed at all. There were enough twists in it to keep you guessing and by the end you aren't sure what to think anymore, just like a good movie should leave you. Besides the obvious all-star cast in this the movie is very well written and is very entertaining and fun to watch. Movies that keep you guessing are usually always that way though. I recommend this. Overall, a movie that does not disappoint at all and is very much worth watching. I give it an B+. |
