Director Richard Gray, the writer's husband and a man obsessed with slow motion, doesn't build necessary tension into the playfully pulpy material.

The movie, instead of embracing its budgetary limitations, gives off a distracting sense of trying to punch above its weight class.

2/5

It simply tries to juggle too many characters, plots, back stories, and motivations; by the time it all comes to a head, viewers might feel that they've missed something.

Fans of neo-noir thrillers could do worse than to give The Lookalike a look.

it's neither clever enough to get away with being stupid, nor stupid enough to just be nasty fun.

So many talented actors trying really hard in what is clearly a moderately budgeted movie

Drug lord William Spinks has a curious obsession with Sadie Hill, and uses family friends Bobby and Frank to get to her. But when Sadie's death jeopardizes a major deal, Bobby and Frank set out to find a replacement - a lookalike - to fool Spinks. The shady plan propels an ex-basketball champion, a deaf beauty, an addict, and an aspiring actress into an unlikely romance and a desperate quest to start over. - Justin Long, Jerry O'Connell, John Corbett, Scottie Thompson

Just a waste of time, no story line to follow up, and the characters are cheaply made. I cannot believe I watched this movie because the audience score is currently 82 percent. That number is completely made up to draw spectators to see this cheap film.
