Review of Dual

Dual (2022)
2/10
Tries hard to be deep but ends up being silly.

Warning: Spoilers
The acting is wooden, the script is both badly written (everything is spelled out) and very silly. Even the whole concept makes no sense at all.

SPOILERS. Why can't a copy live? Twins do. Why would anyone make a copy knowing that this might happen? How do they make a clone in one hour that can speak English? Just from a spit? Is the language knowledge in the spit? If yes, why no other personal knowledge? I could go on and on. It makes no sense. END OF SPOILERS!

Then there's the editing. It cuts like a ping pong. The camera is always on the person talking with a little pause. It's the mistake most first time and amateur editors make.

Why did Aaron Paul act in this film? He must be a personal friend to the director. Sadly even he is bad in it. And here is a small spoiler. In one scene he takes a dancing lesson from the protagonist (played by Karen Gillan) but he is so much better at dancing than she is in the scene which makes no sense at all. Could they not find an actress who could dance better than Aaron Paul or did the director fall asleep and forget to ask Paul not to do his best?

I just don't understand how so little talent gets stars and finance for such a hopeless project. And what's even more amazing, this gets 72% on RottenTomatoes!
