Double Take uses car chases and shootouts to cover up any dull moment, which means that nearly the entire film consists of car chases and shootouts. It all involves two guys trying to go to Mexico. The two switch identities to help Chase go undercover, which leads to plenty of unfunny characterizations of each other. The CIA, FBI, Mexican drug lords, bounty hunters, and the NYPD are after Chase, whose cross-country journey begins in New York. Chase is supposedly smart, but some of his initial decisions are far from it.
Jurisdiction is also an alien concept.
Part of what makes Double Take unenjoyable is how badly Gallo messes up easy things about what agency can do what where. Aside from a couple of the main people, all these hidden agendas do not amount to anything. The important roles are easy to guess, so it is just a matter of waiting out the movie. The death of a comedy comes by not being funny. Double Take comes very close.
