Double Take (2001)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Captivating movie !

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The primary appeal of this movie is Eddie Griffin's character Freddy Tiffany. Though he had a filthy mouth at times (thank you UPN) and he sometimes came across as a Stepin Fetchit, he could be really funny, especially when he was trying to come across as a Harvard graduate.I didn't care that much for Daryl Chase, but when he tried to act 'street' in a couple of scenes, he really nailed the role.There was a lot of excitement and some amazing plot twists, particularly close to the end (I did NOT see that one coming!). No one, and I mean no one, was to be trusted. I could have done without the violence.I liked the country music in a couple of locations when the characters were on the run, and the Mexican-sounding music (though not the beat that went with it).I do want to mention Edward Herrmann because I like him so much on 'Gilmore Girls'. In only one scene was he as good as Richard, showing confidence and poise. In the others, he just wasn't that good.The movie had its good moments, but it wasn't the best action movie by any means.

Whenever this movie comes on Starz, I try to watch it (you know, to be open-minded) and I always end up turning the channel. The plot: stupid (hell, was there ever one!). Eddie Griffin's character was so blatantly annoying and unnecessarily ignorant. He would've made a great understudy for either Amos and Andy or Steppin and Fetchin. Take your pick. His performance was a send up of the typical minstrel characters from the 30's and 40's. As bafoonish as he was in the movie, it's so incredibly hard to believe that his character is ***SPOILER*** actually some sort of FBI agent. Orlando Jones was okay. He has the potential for greatness, he just needs to be more wise in choosing roles. But hey, for $500,000 I probably would've starred in this jackass of a movie too.

This movie is the best action comedy I have ever seen. Gary Grubbs is a great actor and i just happen to know him well. Eddie Griffin is definitely one of the craziest funny men in hollywood. I recommend anyone to see this movie. especially if u love comedy with some added gunshots. Logan how are u man?

Phony Feds, fake CIA agents; double crossing, double dealing where either nobody was who they said or lied about what their business was. The antics of Freddie Tiffany had me rolling at times, he was way beyond cool. Not a bad picture and it offered up some good comedy, but wasn't anything special.
