Doppelgänger

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2005 Filmcritic.com

Any sense of terror promised by the idea, setup, or marketing collateral of Doppelgänger is ruined by the fact that its star closely resembles Jackie Chan. Seeing Kôji Yakusho -- who discovers an evil identical twin following him around -- repeatedly beat himself up is a giddy joke, not the horrible fright-fest we're led to believe. Corny.

Aka Dopperugengâ.
