The Lookalike (2014)

starsIT'S FOR A ROLE

Warning: Spoilers
William Spinks (John Savage) is a successful business man who is willing to pay big money to have sex with his former business partner's daughter who he knew many years ago. He doesn't know exactly what she looks like today, but managed to confirm her identity with a phone call. Due to a light accident our gal Sadie expires. The men who made the arrangement need a lookalike (Gillian Jacobs) because they don't want to pass up the large sums of money involved. The quest then touches on our subplot of two brothers who deal and use drugs and the women in their lives. This also involves some improbable coincidences so that the story could have some interest.

The characters really didn't grab me. You find yourself rooting for the bad guys trying to do a little good. The film includes a deaf girl with a fake leg (Scottie Thompson), because...I am not sure why they wrote the part that way.

Would make for a low expectation rental. Not a keeper.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, stripper nudity (Emily Jessie Thomas +other)
