The Double

• Action
• Drama
• Crime

A simmering psychological thriller unfolds as a seasoned, yet haunted, former CIA operative is reluctantly pulled back into the world of espionage when a murder echoes the signature of a legendary, presumed-deceased Soviet assassin. Forced to partner with an eager FBI agent who idealized his past exploits, the veteran operative confronts not only a potential resurrection of a ghost from his past, but also a creeping paranoia about the reliability of his own memories and perceptions. The film masterfully portrays the weight of a life spent pursuing shadows, creating a tense atmosphere of uncertain identity – is it a true revival of a Cold War phantom or a meticulously crafted deception? This isn’t a story of action heroics, but rather a slow burn investigation into professional obsession, the fragility of legacy, and the consuming nature of unresolved trauma.
