Director : Tim Blake Nelson
Running Time : 100 mins
University lecturer Bill Kincaid (Norton) goes back to his home town in Oklahoma when he hears his identical twin brother Brady (Norton) has been murdered. He soon discovers that his brother is still alive and has hatched a plan to use their similarity in order to use him as an alibi while he goes off to kill rival drug dealer Pug Rothbaum (Dreyfuss).
This is a well-structured and pretty clever black comedy that manages to balance violence with coincidence almost perfectly. Norton plays both twins with great ability, making each of them distinct from the other, and the set up to how they finally get caught out on the murder of Rothbaum is very subtly put into place.
