Two crooks looking out for a drug lord's love interest scramble to find a look-alike after she dies unexpectedly.

Director Richard Gray, the writer's husband and a man obsessed with slow motion, doesn't build necessary tension into the playfully pulpy material.

The movie, instead of embracing its budgetary limitations, gives off a distracting sense of trying to punch above its weight class.

2/5

It simply tries to juggle too many characters, plots, back stories, and motivations; by the time it all comes to a head, viewers might feel that they've missed something.

Fans of neo-noir thrillers could do worse than to give The Lookalike a look.

it's neither clever enough to get away with being stupid, nor stupid enough to just be nasty fun.

Kinda clunky but a somewhat original story and execution. A range of miscast people though, or it came off as that do to production/editing.

Drug lord William Spinks has a curious obsession with Sadie Hill, and uses family friends Bobby and Frank to get to her. But when Sadie's death jeopardizes a major deal, Bobby and Frank set out to find a replacement - a lookalike - to fool Spinks.
