One of the most intricate plots ever, and also one of the least believable ever. "Double Threat" piles on the plot twists and contrivances higher than a corned beef special. It just becomes more and more nonsensical minute by minute. In the end the viewer is left feeling bewildered and cheated. Not only does the film throw in a "movie within a movie" twist, but the ending requires a verbal explanation in order to justify all that has preceded it. The only graphic nudity happens early on with both Sally Kirkland and Sherrie Rose undressing, but the story that is wrapped around the nude scenes is so contrived that the audience will feel foolish for being deceived so badly. Richard Lynch is a welcome presence, but he is more or less wasted as a detective kept in the background, observing the nonsense. - MERK
