From Tom DiCillo, the acclaimed director of LIVING IN OBLIVION, comes the dangerously funny tale of a weary but dedicated cop who'sgonna get some respect if it kills him! Luckless Denis Leary (THE REF) and luscious Elizabeth Hurley (BEDAZZLED) star in this rapid-fire comedy/thriller. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
A crime film that tries to take a slightly different approach than the established routes, meaning that the main protagonist is not an invincible and infallible supercop, but rather an unlucky individual who fails at crucial moments, and this failure affects him in his future work. Additionally, his main rival within the police ranks eventually shows greater intuition in situations where the main character is too emotionally involved. Double Whammy introduces a variety of interesting characters that somewhat balance on the edge of comedy but never cross that line. The result is a decent, slightly above-average thriller that is worth watching. Overall impression: 65%.
