Tockinit not horrible nor great

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Claudio Carvalho The photographer and family man Matyas (Benoît Magimel) is married and has a happy life with his beloved wife Claire (Natacha Régnier), who is pregnant and near the delivery, and his young son Pierre (Nathan Lacroix). Matyas was raised in an orphanage, and he believes his mother died when he was six. However, he receives a correspondence and discovers that his mother has just passed away and that he has a twin brother, Thomas. Matyas does not recall his childhood with his mother and brother and has problems with blood. When Thomas visits his family, Matyas becomes paranoid, believing that his sibling wishes to takeover his family."Trouble" is a great and dark thriller, with a weird suspenseful and original story that recalled me the style of David Cronenberg and Dario Argento. The screenplay is open regarding the accident with Thomas – it is never clear whether Thomas self-inflicted the mutilation or Matyas did. The rage and feelings of Thomas together with the fact that Matyas was abandoned by his family seem to indicate that Matyas was the responsible; but the attitude of their father also seems to indicate that Thomas was abused by him. Anyway, the plot is dark, the cinematography and the special effects are excellent and the performance of Benoît Magimel is top-notch. The final twist was really unexpected and I do not understand why some people compares this film with other movies with twins (like for example Bette Davis' "Dead Ringer" or David Cronenberg's "Dead Ringers"). My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Duplicidade" ("Duplicity")

dbdumonteil Please do not mention Hitchcock!The Master knew that without a solid screenplay it's a waste of breath.All those "modern" French thrillers suffer from approximative vague scripts.The directors think that special effects ,disturbing music (here very Chabrolesque),and an ominous soundtrack can make the job done.Spice with uninspired flashbacks and nightmares .Add some sex.Serve tepid.Benoit Magimel is too limited an actor to suggest two different personalities (Jeremy Irons he is definitely not).Even the final trick is not new.It was invented by Sacha Guitry half a century before.And whereas "trouble" takes finally the easy way out ,the 1953 film did not give the audience any answer.Like this?Try these ...."Dead ringers" David Cronenberg 1988 Irons and his twin "Dead ringer" Paul Henreid 1965 Bette Davis and her twin (2)"Toi Le Venin" Robert Hossein 1958 Marina Vlady and Odile Versois "La Vie d'Un Honnête Homme "Sacha Guitry 1953 Michel Simon and his twin."A stolen life "Curtis Bernardt 1951 Bette Davis and her twin."The dark mirror" Robert Siodmak 1946 Olivia de Havilland and her twin.

jabba1_30 CONTAINS SPOILERSJust viewed a copy of this film, and what a ride. Freaky as hell, and an ending that is extremely unnerving. I kinda had a feeling Tomas was the victor, but was still disturbed nonetheless. I though the twist of Tomas/Elina was a nice touch, and an excellent plot twist. Great performances from the cast all around, and tons of suspense that kept me on the edge of my seat. Some nice cinematography , and the scene with Matyas arriving at the home with the bathtub running sent chills down my spine. Lets hope Hollywood does not decide to stick its dirty fingers in this film, and produce a remake.

armandcbris I recently saw this film as part of the Cinemuerte Horror Film Festival in Vancouver, on the closing night, and it was a great way to wrap up the final year of that particular festival."Trouble" is one of those thrillers that you wouldn't want to give away too much about, suffice it to say that the main character, Matyas, is a photographer with a wife and adolescent kid, who one day discovers that he has a twin brother! The film has elements of Hitchcock and Cronenberg, and is well shot and acted, and well paced. Even the music lends an element of tension to the way things unfold in the film. You easily get caught up in Matyas' circumstances, and his slow, gradual revealing of his murky past as a child, and how his twin, Thomas, figures into that.A great Euro thriller! Hopefully, it'll arrive in North America soon on DVD, or in theatres. Definitely worth checking out.
