It’s a bit difficult to know what to think of The Devil’s Double. A film about the guy asked to be the body double for Saddam Hussein’s son Uday is certainly intriguing, but this trailer makes it look a bit like the sort of thing you’d expect Danny Dyer to star in, except with a bit more expensive. Lee Tamahori, who’s never quite fulfilled the promise of Once Were Warriors, directs the film which is set in Bagdad, the playground for the rich and infamous, where anything can be bought – but for a price. This is Uday Hussein’s (Dominic Cooper) world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia (also Cooper), is summoned to Saddam’s palace, he is faced with an impossible request – to be Uday’s ‘fiday’ – his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence. The movie is due in UK cinemas August 12th.
