Dead Ringers (1988)

The identical twin brothers in David Cronenberg's psychological thriller, both played by Jeremy Irons, are indistinguishable to the women they share and pretty much indistinguishable to viewers who will find it not worth trying to keep track of whether it is Beverly Mantel who is the sophisticat and Elliot Mantel who is the snivelling one, or vice versa, and which one is using drugs and going mad and which one isn't, but that seems to be the point - the two big questions here are, "Where does one twin start and the other twin end?" and, "How long will it be before this movie ends and another more enjoyable, less twisted one starts?"
