The Double 2011

The Double Movie Poster

Richard Gere doesn't get that much lime light for what ever reason in Hollywood any more the days when he was it are decades behind. But I don't think that should put you off from this film because it good.

An assassin that used to work for the soviet regime reappears and kills a US senator. The CIA agent Paul who spent a lifetime tracking him is called back out of retirement to help with the reopen case. When he's paired with his fresh from collage partner he dismisses the partners (Ben)  theory's out of hand not because they are bad but because they are close to the truth.

Slowly the Ben begins to realise that the person they are tracking is a mole in the agency and as the rope tightens it can only be his Paul. Paul tries to warn Ben off and save his life but the head strong raw recruit stays on the case and the tension builds over the film to the final show down.

In brief its a good film, a bit to close to internal affairs that classic Richard Gere. But still worth a look.
