Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."You are asking me to extinguish myself," Latif pleads with Uday Hussein. The eldest son of despot Saddam has just asked Latif to be his body double; the soldier is understandably reluctant.
After a bit of torture, he changes his mind, and Latif is effectively "dead". Dominic Cooper excels as both Udays (ripe as deranged Uday; watchful as Latif) in this lurid gangster saga, which is full of torture scenes, sex, bad music and gunfights.
It doesn't appear to have a lot to do with actual reality, and it feels in poor taste with very little feeling for politics, but Tamahori invests The Devil's Double with an admirable zest.
