Oh hi,

This week on Filmsack, we put on our 90s era big city police issued muscle crop Raiders sweatshirt and acid washed jeans, as was the style of the time… you remember right, and reluctantly partner up with our DOUBLE TROUBLE gym muscles barbarian of a diamond thief twin brother and squeeze into this b-movie sized Action-Comedy now taking a poop in the kitchen sink of Amazon prime? like some pussy kitty “double trouble” entendre gag with no happy ending or any ending at all really, Danger Will Robinson… Danger. 

Anywho, welcome to Men’s Wearhouse you couple of huge hunks of protein. If you are here to get matching suits, we don’t sell anything above a 60″ chest… but if you are willing to wait, I get off at 5 and you can just drape me over your tanned bodies. Hubba Hubba. Whatever, you can’t judge me. You just  watched Double Trouble all the way to the end, voluntarily.

Randy, You’re as dumb as I look. Hey! who wrote this!?

BRIEF

When a cop (Peter Paul) and his beefy, bouncer twin (David Paul) are forced to work together, they find themselves deep in a plot involving stolen art, designer fashion, and thugs who hate shirts. One’s law and order, the other’s flex and chaos—but together, they’re a muscle-bound justice delivery system with mirrored sunglasses and more grunts than lines of dialogue.

Rated: R | 1992 | Action/Comedy | 1h 26m
