Steineded How sad is this?

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Hobbes2 This movie is full of complex plot twists, which can be rather difficult to follow and keeps you guessing till the end. Honestly, if it hadn't been for a few inexplicable jumps in the plot line, I'd have rated it higher. To explain more, would make this a spoiler, but suffice it to say, the "good guys" are scarce in this movie and just when you think you've guessed who's good and who's not, you'll probably find you're wrong.

The Grand Master Val Kilmer was once one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Great movies instantly come to mind such as Top Gun (1986), Willow (1989), The Doors (1991), True Romance (1993), Tombstone (1993), Batman Forever (1995), Heat (1995), The Ghost and The Darkness (1996), The Saint (1997), and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005). Unfortunately Val Kilmer's career has been marred by numerous flops and a reputation as one of the most difficult actors to work with. Nowadays Val Kilmer is keeping his career alive in direct-to-video movies and he is now a shadow of his former self. I thought Kiss Kiss Bang Bang would have resurrected his failing career although it did start to breathe new life in Robert Downey Jr's career before Iron Man (2008) catapulted him back into the big time.Val Kilmer plays Dr Nicholas Pinter, an American doctor working for Doctors Beyond Borders during war torn Bulgaria in 1992. Dr Pinter helps a mysterious woman named Katrine played by Izabella Miko escape from a would-be assailant following a close brush with death following a case of mistaken identity where Dr Pinter is believed to be a spy.It's a case of "been there done that" with Double Identity which has been done before with the Alfred Hitchcock classic North by Northwest (1959), however the end result is nothing short of pathetic, boring and uninspiring. I felt like everyone was sleepwalking through this thriller. Val Kilmer has packed on the kilos here and all of the charm and sex appeal he had in the prime of his career has been lost.Apart from the fact this movie was really bad, it's a shame to see a quality actor like Val Kilmer waste his career away in rubbish such as this. Unless something promising comes up for Val Kilmer, it looks like his career is going to be stuck in the wilderness for a long, long time.1/10

charlytully At first I'm thinking this movie, DOUBLE IDENTITY, is more like this year's Liam Neeson flick, UNKNOWN, what with the possibility that Val Kilmer's doctor character has amnesia, or a split personality. A few minutes later plot developments show that DOUBLE IDENTITY is more exactly similar to THE TOURIST, as it becomes clear the doctor is what he says he is, and he's simply helping out the damsel in distress, played by Izabella Miko. Do Kilmer and Miko share more on-screen chemistry than Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie? Probably, but that really is not saying much. Are the plot twists of DOUBLE IDENTITY any more plausible than those of THE TOURIST? No, but at least not as much money was wasted in this film on pyrotechnics and Venetian scenery. One of the main faults I had viewing DOUBLE IDENTITY was a sense of deja vu; having seen this all before, along the lines of something Graham Greeney--maybe THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE. Certainly another quibble some viewers may share is that the ending of DOUBLE IDENTITY feels quite forced and rushed, with the loose ends tied up just a little too neatly. The denouement even has a made-for-TV movie-of-the-week quality; you almost expect to see Tom Selleck come strutting down that sidewalk!

frank taylor The older Val Kilmer gets the worst he is.Fatty, heavy, clumsy and without any ability to show any emotion. He looks like a stoned junkie.The story itself is below average.Double, triple, quadruple agents are messing with each other without any sign of consistency. Boring characters, boring storyline, no acting, predictable outcome.Everything is there to make you feel cheated.The main disappointment is Kilmer. I think he is drinking too much. His face is puffy, he moves like a tired elephant.Don't waste your time...
