The deadpan humour and unique concepts blend ever so nicely in Riley Stearn’s sci-fi / comedy Dual. Firstly, however, I must say that this will not be for everyone. It’s a rather low-key film centred around cloning. It also has the comedy vibe of, say, Napoleon Dynamite. So, don’t expect big action set pieces (although the opening battle scene is pretty fun), or any kind of overt explanations. What you can expect, though, is a well-acted bit of subtle strangeness with plenty to ponder. Yes, this is a movie flooding with themes surrounding life, death, aging, and, well, the human existence as a whole. There are some smart little turns in the script too, keeping it from being one note and predictable. The performances also elevate the material, with Karen Gillan doing a phenomenal job in her (ahem) dual roles. And for fans of Aaron Paul, just know that his appearance is only slightly above “cameo” level. Watching him dance choreographed hip-hop is certainly worth it however! And, at only an hour and a half, this is an extremely breezy watch. Trust me, Dual is the ultra-dry-humoured sci-fi cloning flick you didn’t know you needed in your life.
