The Devil's Double

O tomto filmu

Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate’s THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Baghdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein's palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the "royal family" when he’s ordered to become the ‘fiday’ – or body double – to Saddam's son, the notorious "Black Prince" Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality.

As an Iraqi who worked with the Iraqi gov pre and post 2003 I can tell you this movie has highly exaggerated the life style of Uday. I'm not saying he's.an angel but he was not what this movie portrays him to be. Very inaccurate

excellent movie , very intriguing as well as an accurate portrayal of events taking place in a world that was unknown to most and thankfully not lived by many!

dominic cooper knocks it out of the park with a breathtaking profomance and as for saying non of this movie is true. . latif yahia worked directly with everyone on this movie and was even in the movie for a few seconds. .I'd say only he would really know what uday was really like on a personal level.
