The Devil's Double

Baghdad, 1987. A pistol shot. Latif Yahia, an Iraqi soldier, is summoned from the front and given an impossible order. He must become the body double of Uday Hussein or face death. A lurid glimpse into a palace of perverse depravity. Tamahori's hyperkinetic crime film might be too pulpy for some.
