Rated - 3 starsSlightly unlikely but very good nevertheless..

PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 09/06/2007

This gets off to a pretty slow start, but certainly not pedantic. Then when the film does get going it is really quite a good watch, with a decent enough storyline.

Based around two twins separated at birth, who aren't aware of each other. One becomes a sucessful businessman in Dublin, the other a bum from Yorkshire who reads of his siblings charmed life and decides he wants a slice of that pie.

When he does hijack his twins heady lifestile and takes over, there are some glaring 'surely why doesnt anyone just ask for proof' moments that stick out, and aren't really dealt with too well.

But enough said, get over the first 15-20 minutes and this is really quite a good watch. Certainly a recommended rent.

Spurious violence, so so acting, I haven't got anything positive to say about it.
