VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Talos Despite lots of good actors, this film (story line) is all over the place. Meg.

LeonLouisRicci A Somewhat Gritty and Sometimes Amusing Off-Beat Little Crime Story About Drug Dealers and Assorted Hotties. Many Familiar Faces Can Be Seen in This Underrated Movie with Many a Quirk and a Complicated Plot of Misdirection and Coincidental, but Important Situations.It's Got Enough Violence and Underworld Middle-Level Drug Stuff to be Sleazy, It's Set in New Orleans, to be Worth a Watch. Nothing Here is New in the Genre but it Tries Hard to Include Characters with Expected and Not So Expected Human Flaws.Justin Long was Outstanding in Tusk (2014 Directed by Kevin Smith) and is Fine as the Nucleus of the Story and the Women Here are All Smokin Hot and that Adds to the Attraction. The Film's Aloof Manner Keeps This From the Neo-Noir Genre Although it Contains Some Elements. Nothing Memorable, but is a Good B-Movie and the Cast and Some Style Make This a Good Pick When Slumming.

lyuf britta really britta'd this movie. slow, uninteresting start. i'll admit my interest piqued when lacey was exposed as wearing a wire, but her character was about as interesting to me as a lemonade icy pole on a 7 degree day. no real chemistry between her and holt, joe was about as dry as a brick (why would mila go for a crusty old man like him), bobby and the other one failed to make me even realise they were supposed to be the tough gangsters (i thought they were the classic smart thug, dumb thug couple), drew was a joke, and i cant remember any other characters because they didn't stand out at all. oh yeah, luis guzman did his thing, though it was a bit forced.really, some moments in here were super super corny. drew walking in slow motion infront of the car blowing up? bobby walking in slow motion before his ammunition and guns supply blew up? no thanks. it really was horrible in these parts.i did like how mila was played. believable acting coupled with a complex character background allowed the role to be executed with style and grace, exactly how mila was supposed to be shown. however lacey's acting was flat and started out looking like something i'd see at a 16 year old's drama recital.the ending was kind of surprising though. i did like the idea of him killing mila/stand-in sadie and it fit well with her story, however it would have been interesting to see if luis guzman was the guy lacey had to get with in the end and lacey really did show up, but that's another story.

Voyou Nobodysbusiness Your liking of The Lookalike might very well depend on how much coincidences you are ready to accept in a storyline. This one heavily relies on them, some quite extraordinary, but if you are tolerant - or in the mood to be - they are acceptable, especially since they come early on in the introduction of the characters and their respective schemes.The story is fine, the cast is fine, the picture is often very colourful, in contrast to what must be inside the minds of the protagonists, and there are plenty of beautiful shots, notably of New Orleans and the bayou. What is certainly not so good is the score.The music is absent from most scenes, but is there for the romance and for the violence. That's unfortunate, specially for the latter. Indeed, these particular scenes lack tension and fail to involve the viewer. Be they a kidnapping or a shoot out, they pass with a level of detachment that doesn't quite fit the genre. I appreciate that they avoid the gruesome of many other films, not so much that they also avoid the thrills. Blaming the music may very well let me overlook other factors, but I'll unfairly leave it at that.
