Alex: Dog shit. Look, the thickest portion of the shit probably came from where the heel and the sole meet, forming a perfect footprint.

User Reviews

Somewhat confusing, somewhat unsatisfying ...................

Twisty plot seems contrived. The acting is acceptable, however most characters are unlikable. It's almost as if the script started with the mild surprise ending, and then was written how to arrive there. The sex scenes are redundant, the story somewhat confusing, and the ending somewhat unsatisfying. The whole thing has a TV movie feel to it, and the conclusion comes across as rushed for a story that is perhaps a little to complicated for it's own good. If you are a Ron Perlman fan, this might be worth checking out, as his performance as an unscrupulous private eye is perhaps the best part of "Double Exposure".......... - MERK
