I've watched recently some other movies dealing with the same "Doppelgagger" motive. Some of them were great (BLACK SWAN, DEAD RINGERS, MULHOLAND DRIVE). Some, not so much (ENEMY, THE DOUBLE). THE MAN WHO HAUNTED HIMSELF is probably a pioneer, being made in 1970. To whom it may concern, there is a fine short story by Edgar Allan Poe with the same theme (William Wilson).
Now, about this : This is a good drama mystery movie that kept my attention until the ending. It's not a mindblowing experience and the whole explanation about what happened is somewhat weak and it doesn't make much sense. But still, it's more plausible than other movies with a similar plot. In any case, anyone who read the synopsis and wants to watch it, is not expecting much i guess. Just a good character study movie with good acting performances and some intense moments. That's exactly what you get here. Moore does his best, movie is getting better by the minute and it's watchable, at worst. For me, it's better than a just watchable movie because i was very curious to see where it goes. Some interesting twists and turns and an obscure but not dissatisfying ending. For sure, its better than this Villeneuve movie (ENEMY, 2013) and way better than THE DOUBLE (2013).
