The Double

Two Eisenbergs are not better than one in this dull Dostoyevsky depiction.  Feels like a stage-play directed by Gilliam’s corpse and populated by un-empathetic caricatures of uninteresting people.  Ayoade achieves a singular vision. Unfortunately, it isn’t one worth seeing.  Perhaps film was intended as the double for its impressive Enemy.

Predestination

Hawke flies through time on violence-case broomstick, Folding the timeline into knots while Priming sneaky Snook for the face of her final …destination.  A clever, time-bender but too bad Hawke couldn’t leap back and accelerate the long first act or forward to foresee a complex timex climax that ultimately fizzles.
