Bullseye! (1990)

An American nuclear physicist develops a fusion technique for energy generation and, in partnership with an English aristocrat, has plans to sell it to the highest bidder. Two criminals who happen to be their respective lookalikes try to rob them, and in the process are coopted by the American and English secret services to help them get the recipe.

Moderately entertaining farce, fast and eventful. The dual lookalike premise dates way back (The Comedy of Errors), and, more recently, was used in Our Relations (1936). The editing is quick and the filming has a penchant for odd low-angles and very near close-ups.

Rating: 50
