Leave your thoughts about The Lookalike.
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonIt 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. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenDirector Richard Gray, the writer's husband and a man obsessed with slow motion, doesn't build necessary tension into the playfully pulpy material. |
| The DissolveMatthew DessemThere’s no shortage of the recognizable actors in minor roles that populate this sort of thing: Luis Guzmán as a loan shark, Gina Gershon as a detective. But there’s a real shortage of recognizable human behavior. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergNonstop scheming and some grimy New Orleans locations prevent The Lookalike from being boring. But the movie, instead of embracing its budgetary limitations, gives off a distracting sense of trying to punch above its weight class. |

| User ReviewMarco Bit was not worth the time of watching.... redbox would be getting a letter from me trying to get credit for watching this garbage... |
| User ReviewhorizonbtsWhat a jumbled up mess, it was almost like they patched a bunch of scenes together and left you to figure out what pieces fit into the puzzle. With the talent amassed I think they all tried to make it work to no avail. Basically a call girl gets killed and they are trying to find a lookalike who is passable to take her place for the big pay off. In the meantime there are others involved and it all hinges on if they can find a look a like and make it work as they get a split from the payoff. Too some of the players are involved in drugs and there is a big bust planned. |
