Twins, huh? Why does there always have to be an evil one?
Ringer, in which former Buffy The Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar plays a pair of twins, one good, one evil, is no different, but slightly cleverly, it’s not obvious at first who the evil twin is or who the good twin is.
Bridget is a bad girl. A former stripper and prostitute, she’s also an addict who beats up police officers and steals their guns.
Siobhan is a good girl. She has the perfect marriage, lives in luxury in New York and the Hamptons with her English husband (Ioan Gruffudd), and has oodles of cash.
Neither has seen each other in six years. Siobhan hasn’t even mentioned Bridget to her husband.
But the thing is, Bridget is actually the good twin. She’s on a 12-step programme to recovery from her addiction, she’s taken a job as a waitress and she’s helping the Feds because she witnessed a murder.
Siobhan? Well, she treats her husband like dirt, she’s having an affair, loathes her step-daughter and she’s evil, evil, evil.
As Bridget finds out when she gets to New York and ends up taking over Siobhan’s life.
