Double Life

I sat down to watch the 2023 crime thriller "Double Life" after having read the synopsis and found it to be somewhat interesting. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it though.

Writers Michael Hurst and Chris Sivertson put together an amazingly generic, montonous and slow paced narrative for director Martin Wood to bring to the screen. The storyline in "Double Life" was so slow paced that it was a struggle to sit through it, and the fact that nothing interesting happened, just made it even more mind-numbing to sit through the ordeal. The concept of the storyline sounded interesting, for sure, but the execution from script to screen was just horrible.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "Double Life", aside from actor Niall Matter, and he was hardly even in the movie. The actresses and actors in the movie, however, had very little contents to work with and bring to the script in terms of script, storyline, characters and dialogue.

If you enjoy crime thrillers, then do yourself a favor and don't waste 89 minutes on the generic movie that is named "Double Life". There are far better crime thrillers out there.

My rating of "Double Life" lands on a three out of ten stars.

Uninteresting and boring storytelling. The beginning of the film is promising, but afterwards it holds little in the way of attention for the viewer who passively watches the scenes, without any emotional involvement as the scenes give and convey a low level of suspense. Rhythm of the narration is very slow and the content very predictable and lacking in any emotional significance. We strongly advise against watching the film, which did not convey any emotion at the end of the viewing, probably also due to the short overall length that did not allow the authors to develop a complex plot with rich meaning. We would definitely not see it again.

DOUBLE LIFE released in 2023 9/10 Yesterday (Saturday 5/18/2024) WOW!!! I purchased and watched this movie because I have been a Niall Matter fan since September 2023(I have purchased most of his Hallmark and Lifetime movies). Even though he was in the movie very briefly, the female leads-Javicia Leslie and Pascalle Hutton made up for Niall not being in the entire movie. The movie kept me in suspense and interested all the way to the very end because of the fine acting of the female leads, BJ Harrison and Carmen Moore, the fast pace of the movie. Even though I know how the movie ends, I still enjoy watching it again.

What could a white woman and a black woman - total strangers - have in common? That is for You to discover...

Though it's no blockbuster, I found myself completely absorbed with the story, as it unfolded on the screen. I was never bored at any time. On the contrary, I hardly noticed the time passing by.

Perhaps the simple fact that both females are attractive contributed to this.

Why not check out this movie yourself? You might be surprised what a good team these two females make, even though they have their ups and downs at times.

Why let any bad reviews discourage you from missing out on an entertaining film?
