Sometimes I add films to the database here and completely forget about them, but something about The Double rang a bell. I ran a search for it here on the site and sure enough, there it was, an political thriller I added to the database last April when Richard Gere and Topher Grace joined the Michael Brandt written and directed feature. Now we have a trailer, a poster and a September 23 release date.
The film begins with a murder of a senator in Washington by a Soviet assassin long thought to be dead. A retired CIA operative (Gere), who spent his career going toe to toe with his Soviet nemeses, is forced to partner with a young FBI agent (Grace) to hunt the killer down.
The Double co-stars Martin Sheen, Odette Yustman (The Unborn), Chris Marquette (Life During Wartime), Stana Katic (The Spirit) and “True Blood” star Stephen Moyer.
The film doesn’t look half-bad, but I’m not sure how many theaters it’s going to get upon release. Check out the trailer below and see what you think.
