The Devil's Double, playing in theaters now, tells the story of the man who was hand-picked by Saddam Hussein's son Uday to become his body double. In a double role, English actor Dominic Cooper plays both parts--madman and prisoner. More Scarface than Prince and the Pauper, the film explores the notion of identity, but gets stuck navigating Uday Hussein's world of corruption, oppression, and sadism. Sultry, wide-eyed Ludivine Sagnier co-stars.
