Mixing elements of "Scarface" with visual techniques from "The Parent Trap," "The Devil's Double" ends up being one insanely fun thrill ride. As brutally violent as it is, the film is also cerebral and daring in its conception. Acting as a sensationalized biopic of sorts, "The Devil's Double" is the story of Uday Hussein and his body double Latif Yahia. Notoriously one of the most spoiled and ruthless would-be dictators of all time, Uday Hussein's reign of womanizing and cold-blooded murders was well documented. Son of the long-deceased Saddam Hussein, Uday lived a frivolous and extravagant lifestyle that included endless amounts of drugs, booze and fast cars. He lived his life similarly to a 1980s drug kingpin.
