Rating:u00a0 * * * 1/2

Dominic Cooper, last seen as Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger, shows hitherto unseen acting chops in The Devil's Double, a preposterously entertaining and appropriately gut-wrenching biopic/drama about Uday Saddam Hussein, the late Iraqi dictator's sadistic youngest son. Cooper plays both Uday and Latif Yahia, a young Iraqi soldier who in real life was made Uday's body double and adopted brother due to their similar looks.
