Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

bombersflyup The Man Who Haunted Himself, despite having a quality premise and a solid lead performance from Moore, falls short of being memorable.The resolution is probably its biggest downfall. They talk it out and then he runs off the road, dies and disappears. Yes it resolved the situation, his life goes on, but what does it do for the viewer? Plus Pelham having those repetitive flashes while driving at the end, was really annoying. Why didn't he enjoy spending time with and want to be intimate with his wife? That was odd. It was also rather sluggish at times. I did like it, it just could of been so much more.

Stevieboy666 Pre 007 Roger Moore plays a City businessman who finds himself being haunted by his doppelganger following a near fatal car crash. Very well made supernatural thriller which proves that you do not need gore or jump scares to make a film scary. It moves at a fast pace & kept me enthralled throughout. Good cast including a fine performance by Moore. Love the old Lamborghini that his duplicate drives around in!

Audrain I'll begin by saying I'm a Basil Dearden film, and watched this primarily because he directed it. Overall, it is an entertaining film that offers a glimpse of a long-gone world, and of a style of filmmaking that also disappeared with the late 1960s and early 1970s.I won't summarize the plot since many others already have, but it turns on the initially uncanny and increasingly creepy appearance of Harold Pelham's (Roger Moore, in one of his best performances) Doppelgänger, though like Pelham himself we don't actually see this double until very late in the film. His strange presence, however, is apparent from the moment early on when Pelham briefly dies on the operating table, only to revive temporarily with two heartbeats.My two criticisms, beyond the annoyingly busy score, hinge on the confusing moment at the film's opening when the Doppelgänger seems to overtake the original Pelham, leading to the first accident (or does he?), and on the melodramatic ending, which probably could have been strengthened by jump-cutting straight from the crash through the bridge balustrade to Pelham, one of the two, walking back through the door of his home, without us seeing which one, the original or the double, it was. In general, though, I recommend the film, and despite its flaws, it is quite entertaining and a metaphysical and psychological thriller. If it is ever remade, it'll have to be updated for the 21st century, but if done right and not Hollywoodized, it could work well. (It would be interesting to compare this original and a remake to the 2013 Canadian film The Enemy, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, which is based on Nobel Laureate Jose Saramago's 2004 novel The Double.)

RanchoTuVu Roger Moore plays a man whose other half (the half with panache) finally wins control over his body, a body that was nearly killed (actually dies on the operating table for a few seconds) in a ferocious (and excitingly filmed) car crash. A conservative and safety conscious partner in a London engineering firm, he's let life slip by a bit too much, not making love with his wife, passing up on the chance to score with God knows how many beautiful young women, the one here being a photographer, and myriad other potentialities. Well the other Moore, (more like Bond) gets a shot at the life force after the accident, and the first one (Mr. Conservative) is increasingly bewildered at reports of sightings of him here and there, when he was somewhere else. Fighting for his family, his work, his reputation, and his sanity, he has most viewers rooting for him to come out on top. The two sides finally have it out in a brilliant conclusion, one in a Bentley (or Rolls) and the other in an Astin (or Lotus), that reaches classic cinematic proportions in this high class Cormanesque near masterpiece.
