Twins (1988)

'Twins' is terrific!
It is another one 'of those films' that I've heard about for as long as time (though post-watch it doesn't seem as (relative) well known as I thought it was!) but clearly never got around to watching it. Well I have now and I'm certainly glad I did, it's a great watch. Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger are a fantastic duo.
DeVito is always good, one of my favourites to see onscreen. Schwarzenegger impresses, I've obviously seen a decent amount of his work but I'd have to say this is the most I've enjoyed him so far I think. I have basically only seen him as a brute force machine before, so it's pleasant to see a performance of his with a bit more depth.
Interesting to see Kelly Preston appear, even if I wouldn't have recognised her if it wasn't for the opening credits. I enjoyed Marshall Bell's role, one I actually would've liked to have seen more of to be honest - he made for a good bad guy!
It'a a shame that we won't be getting a sequel to this, it would've been awesome to see DeVito and Schwarzenegger back together older... especially with the early rumoured addition of Eddie Murphy. I reckon that would've been fun.

It's... fine?
Not as good as it was hyped up to be in my opinion. The movie was okay, but it wasn't anything special. It had _a story_ but it wasn't outstanding. The same goes for every other aspect of the movie. Worth watching if it's your thing, even if only for DeVito's performance, which is probably the best bit of the movie.
There are definitely parts of the movie that heavily rely on Marnie's attractiveness instead of the storyline and acting, trying to play it off as comedic when Julius doesn't understand what's going on- but that's obviously not what's going on here.
Overall, 6/10. Movie is fine, worth watching, but I don't think I would ever list it in a top movies list or anything.
