Director Michael Brandt (making his directorial debut) cut his writing chops on such fast-paced fare as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Fast 2 Furious\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e and the remake of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3:10 to Yuma\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, so he's right at home moving the plot along at a feverish clip. Richard Gere is enigmatic and just sympathetic enough as Paul Shepherdson, a retired CIA operative who's brought back into action after the assassination of a United States senator to help track down his long lost (and supposedly dead) Cold War nemesis. He's assigned by his boss, authoritatively played by Martin Sheen, to work with a rookie agent, Ben Geary (Topher Grace, who can hold his own against these film lions just fine, thank you). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e has elements of the best buddy flicks, a little bit of the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBourne\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e films, and more than a little homage played to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Usual Suspects\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. Stephen Moyer plays a very believable menace to the free world. But is he the dreaded Cassius? As the tension rises and the plot thickens, one wishes Gere had a bit of a harder edge--like, say, a mid-career Harrison Ford or Samuel L. Jackson. Yet in some ways the \"soft\" casting of Gere helps keep the plot aloft. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Double\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e is a perfect popcorn spy caper that will have the viewer guessing until nearly the end of the film.
