ENEMY **

The old doppelganger theme gets yet another workout, this time from director Denis Villeneuve, as Jake Gyllenhaal's somewhat uncool and uptight history professor discovers he has a double. This causes him no end of consternation as he sets out to track down his other self who happens to be an actor. In both roles, and never really off the screen, Gyllenhaal is excellent as always while Villeneuve once again proves himself a dab hand at suspense. If ultimately there is less to the picture than meets the eye it is still very stylish and even disquieting at times and while not one of its directors best films remains a very enjoyable divertissement.
