The Scapegoat

This was an alright film, but nothing really stuck out to me. The acting was brilliant, I just think the pacing and plot could have been better executed.

Great concept but I’m really not sure there is much here beyond that 
Definitely enjoyed it but idk it just feels kinda empty? Like some of the ideas presented like substance abuse, unfaithfulness, leading a double life etc were just kinda half baked

The Scapegoat is a surprisingly solid thriller (I suppose) about two physically identical men who swap lives that couldn't be more different. Matthew Rhys does a fine job of playing two tormented men though those around him seem rather flat. The film plays with some interesting ideas and I'm certainly intrigued to read its source material. However, when the film is only marginally better than a parody done by The Simpsons, you're really not shooting very high.
