Being in San Diego has helped a ton - with so many different theatres, opportunities to win tickets fly by all over the place. So when I got a chance to see a sneak preview of The Devil's Double - Hubz and I snuck out for a quick date.
If you haven't seen it yet - you'll want to add this one to your list.
***
Yanked out of the army and hand selected by the devil himself, Latif Yahia has no choice but to serve as the double for the psychotic, evil son of Saddam Hussein - Uday Hussein.
With no regard for anyone but himself and what fancies him at the moment, you never know what, or who, Uday is going to do next. Latif, a brave and honorable man - struggles in his own resolve to stand up for what he believes in, while trying to keep his family safe from this sadistic monster.
Dominic Cooper will almost have you believe that the two characters, Uday and Latif, are played by two different actors. His performance alone is reason enough to see "The Devil's Double" - and all along, when you cringe in your seat from the brutal physical and sexual violence onscreen, you'll remember that this is all based on the true story of Latif Yahia.
