‘Life is Strange: Double Exposure’ review: A worthy return for its original protagonist

‘Life is Strange: Double Exposure’ is a direct sequel to the first game that continues Max’s personal growth while providing a solid cast of new characters. However, its pacing feels rushed towards the latter half of the game and its gameplay mechanics aren’t as interesting as previous entries.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the latest entry in the Life is Strange series — it’s a direct follow-up to the original game that came out in 2015.

The game expertly showcases the original protagonist, Max, and her personal growth, while introducing a likable cast of new supporting characters. The story starts off incredibly strong, but the pacing feels rushed towards the end and the conclusion may not satisfy some players. Additionally, the gameplay mechanics feel a bit underwhelming.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure plot

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is set 10 years after the original game, with Max Caulfield returning as a photographer for Caledon University.


Credit: Deck Nine

Due to the events of the previous game, Caulfield no longer uses her time-rewinding powers. However, after her friend Safi is mysteriously murdered by a gunshot, she develops new powers that allow her to switch between timelines. Max alternates between her original timeline and another where Safi was never shot and utilizes clues from both to find out who killed Safi.

It’s an incredibly strong foundation and the mystery surrounding Safi’s death is a real page turner up until the last few chapters, which felt rushed and the ending was a bit unsatisfying. Without spoiling anything, the first three chapters kept my attention, but when all of the details started coming together, I couldn’t help but feel like the idea of Safi’s death was a sort of bait and switch.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure characters

Life is Strange: Double Exposure’s cast is quite small, which lets other supporting characters get their time to shine.


Credit: Deck Nine

For example, Max can see both versions of Safi’s best friend, Moses, when switching between the two timelines and how he reacts to certain events. This allows players to experience different facets and emotions of these characters, creating fully realized personalities.

Max shows strong character growth, too, learning from her actions 10 years ago during the events of the original game. She wants to avoid a repeat of what happened before, when her own selfish motives led to innocent people getting hurt. This is demonstrated throughout the game with her words and actions.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure mechanics

Shifting between timelines sounds like a really interesting gameplay mechanic on paper, but it feels underutilized in Life is Strange: Double Exposure.


Credit: Deck Nine

In the game, Max shifts timelines to complete simple tasks, like entering a room that’s locked in one reality but open in another. It doesn’t really get too much deeper than that. There was one scene where Max had to save a person from falling into a frozen lake as it was cracking, so she shifted the crumbling bed of ice with the other timeline’s undisturbed one. 

It was a very cool implementation of Max’s new powers, but those possibilities were only shown through cutscenes and not actual gameplay. I feel like the developers could’ve come up with some more different ideas to incorporate Max’s powers with gameplay.

Throughout the game, you’ll be presented with different choices and dialogue options on how to proceed. Some are more impactful than others. For example, Max finds out a character is planning on filing a restraining order on Safi, and she has the option to tell Safi about it. Whether the player chooses to tell Safi about it has ramifications during later chapters. This adds significant replayability to each playthrough, allowing you to experience different outcomes.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure graphics

The graphics in Life is Strange: Double Exposure are great, especially its art direction.


Credit: Deck Nine

It has a cartoon-ish look that avoids looking juvenile, and the facial expressions are the best the series has seen thus far. It’s vibrant with colors, and the contrast between the two timelines reflects the mood of each one. In the one where Safi is still alive, there’s a warm yellow hue to it, while the one where she’s dead has a somber blue coloration. It’s a simple yet effective technique that can affect the mood.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure music and audio

The music and audio in Life is Strange: Double Exposure is good, but it wasn’t something that I paid particular attention to throughout the game. However, the game uses some licensed music from real-world artists like Tessa Rose Jackson & Feel for songs like “Wake,” “Illusion,” and “So This Is Lonely,” which stand out in the soundtrack.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure difficulty

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a narrative adventure game, so it doesn’t have any difficulty options.


Credit: Deck Nine

However, there are plenty of good accessibility options, such as softening the white bloom that occurs when shifting timeline, making the gameplay experience smoother.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure performance

Life is Strange: Double Exposure performed well on Xbox Series X. There were no hard crashes nor performance issues — and load times were reasonable. However, there were some issues with textures popping in when cutscenes were loading in, making for some weird visual glitches.

Is Life is Strange: Double Exposure worth it?

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a worthy follow-up for those who enjoyed Max’s original adventure. Without giving away spoilers, the game hints at future sequels, which occasionally undermines its story potential. This focus detracts from Double Exposure’s impact, leading to a somewhat underwhelming ending.

However, Max’s personal growth felt satisfying and the cast is likable. While the gameplay mechanics involving Max’s time powers could’ve been more fleshed out, the story was enough to keep my attention until the end. At $50, Life is Strange: Double Exposure is worth it for die-hard Life is Strange fans, but casual players can wait for a discount.

‘Juror #2’ review: Clint Eastwood’s masterful Hollywood throwback

“Juror #2” is masterful Hollywood throwback courtesy of director Clint Eastwood. Review.

Juror #2 sets an incredibly high bar for itself, as a movie that lives in the shadow of 12 Angry Men. However, its struggles to differentiate itself from the Sidney Lumet classic yield intriguing contradictions. This is an appropriate outcome for a film so torn over notions of American justice, with which it wrestles by imbuing a familiar plot with a significant wrinkle: What if one of the 12 jurors realizes they might be responsible for the murder at hand?

Despite its growing pains, Juror #2 gradually grows more gripping and self-assured, taking the form of solid, mid-budget adult entertainment with a lot on its mind and heart — the kind of movie Hollywood seldom green-lights in 2024. If it really is the last thing Clint Eastwood ever directs (he is, after all, 94 years old), then it’s one hell of a swan song, despite Warner Bros.’ insistence on a paltry 50-screen release.

With its sense of careful, classical composition and emphasis on performance, Eastwood’s courtroom drama represents a kind of American filmmaking being left in the past, which is oddly fitting too. The past is where the movie’s subconscious resides, both as a tale of festering guilt and as a work that gazes lovingly upward at lofty American ideals that may no longer exist. Juror #2 reveals cracks in its own nostalgia through its riveting drama, and even through its own political flaws.

What is Juror #2 about?

On the surface, Georgia magazine writer Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) seems to have it all, from the white picket fence to a doting, pregnant wife, Allison Crewson (Zoey Deutch). Their dynamic is fun and easygoing, and they even spend Halloween dressed up as the subjects of Grant Wood’s painting American Gothic, an idyllic piece of Americana. Their only seeming speedbump en route to parenthood is the minor inconvenience of Justin’s jury duty summons. The trial in question offers a stark contrast to Justin and Allison’s picturesque domestic bliss: A tattooed drug pusher, James Sythe (Gabriel Basso) — the character’s name evokes the grim reaper — is accused of bludgeoning his girlfriend, Kendall Carter (Francesca Eastwood), to death, and tossing her corpse off a shallow bridge.

The crime scene photos are gut-churning, but as a picture of the events is painted by diligent public defender Eric Resnick (Chris Messina) and ambitious assistant D.A. Faith Killebrew (Toni Collette) — another sharp, exacting name — Justin quickly realizes that he was at the same bar as Sythe and Kendall that rainy evening. He also recalls hitting something with his SUV in the darkness, right by a deer crossing, which led him to think little of the event at the time. Now, with the facts laid out before him, he isn’t so sure, and with Sythe’s innocence hanging in the balance, his decisions become paramount.

Jonathan Abrams’ screenplay establishes the movie’s premise quickly and with ruthless efficiency. In fact, Justin’s realizations and his acceptance of his role in Kendall’s death unfold rather quickly, to the point that something feels off about the movie’s pacing. However, as Justin tries to convince his fellow jurors to rethink their stances — at first, he’s the only holdout in a sea of guilty verdicts — a surprisingly deft balancing act emerges, wherein the drama of Justin’s remorse, and his dilemmas over how to proceed, become increasingly entwined with the nature of the law itself, and with its in-built presumptions. Granted, the case itself feels legally dubious at times; rare are the moments when it feels like anyone, let alone these specific jurors, might ignore its enormous holes. However, this only makes the movie’s argument more pointed, about what truly informs an individual’s factual reality. 

The “what if?” hanging around Justin’s neck like an albatross isn’t one of whether he was responsible — he’s sure of this up front — but rather, what might happen should he come clean, and what his alternatives to doing so might be. As he seeks legal advice from a lawyer friend, Larry Lasker (Kiefer Sutherland), his conundrum becomes excitingly complicated, paving the way for unexpected personal drama. Not only does Justin have his wife and unborn child to care for, there are also elements of his past — hinted at through dialogue, but eventually revealed through flashbacks and Hoult’s heartrending personal confessions — that would, in theory, cast aspersions on his own character and idyllic façade, a fear made all the more pressing by how sure co-jurors seem of Sythe’s morality.

Justin, therefore, must sway 11 other individuals without tipping his hand. The film becomes a thrilling game of oration and of navigating fiery, idiosyncratic personalities. However, Eastwood never allows his story to become decoupled from larger concerns about the ethics of the law, and to what degree “innocent until proven guilty” truly holds when the accused, the attorneys, the jurors, and even judges don’t exist in vacuum. “To the justice system!” Resnick toasts midway through the film, somewhat tongue-in-cheek. “It isn’t perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got.”

Juror #2 is in a tug-of-war with 12 Angry Men.

Watching Juror #2 in no way requires homework, but familiarity with Lumet’s landmark legal drama (or the teleplay on which it’s based) makes it all the richer. There are, of course, overt plot similarities at the outset. Like Henry Fonda’s upstanding Juror No. 8, Justin is initially the only “non-guilty” voter, while his 11 co-jurors seem convinced otherwise. Although Justin’s motives are deeply personal — he knows the truth, and hopes to alleviate his own guilt — he takes a similar, step-by-step approach to Fonda’s character, asking the group to re-examine the evidence and their own biases before making a life-changing decision.

However, where 12 Angry Men is largely confined to the deliberation room over a single day, Juror #2 spans several days, nights, and locations. While this distinction is merely logistical, what it does with this departure ensures that Eastwood’s spiritual successor soon establishes its own identity. It has a wider purview, not only of the night of the crime — via numerous flashbacks that exhibit minor differences, depending on who’s telling the story — but of the trial itself, and its political entanglements. Killebrew, for instance, is running for District Attorney, and a guilty verdict favors her career.

The departures are mischievous too, from a storytelling standpoint. Several characters, including a retired detective and fellow juror named Harold (J.K. Simmons), begin looking into the case independently, and the question of how close they might come to discovering Justin’s involvement becomes a recurring throughline. However, the film’s thematic expansions prove thorny as well. In updating the make-up of the jury from 12 white men to a mix of men and women of different ethnicities, the film seems to overlook the ensuing racial entanglements, rather than folding them into its story.

None of the jurors are particularly excited to be there — a key starting point, as they (and the audience) are slowly convinced of how important their roles might be — but the two most adamant advocates of a guilty verdict happen to be Marcus (Cedric Yarbrough) and Yolanda (Adrienne C. Moore), the only two Black members of the jury. Not only are they utterly, even viciously convinced of Sythe’s guilt, they also place immense faith in the justice system without question. Yolanda is also afforded little interiority when it comes to her decision-making. While 12 Angry Men never quite got into racial specifics, its stray shot of the accused (John Savoca) and the charged language used by Lee J. Cobb’s hot-headed Juror No. 3 ensured that the specter of racism was ever-present. It is, therefore, more than a little strange that a modern movie set in a Southern U.S. state might not even consider the broader picture of how one’s experiences as a non-white person might differently shape their worldview when it comes to systems of legal justice.

On the plus side, Marcus becomes a greater focus of the film as things play out, so his reasoning feels more justified. But what’s especially interesting about his character is that not only is he the ostensible analogue of Cobb’s adamant third juror in 12 Angry Men, but there’s something distinctly Cobb-esque about him too. The actors could be related for all we know; their eyes are sunken and thoughtful in strikingly similar ways, and Yarbrough layers his temper with nuance and humanity, in the exact same way Cobb was known for doing.

In fact, eyes may be the most important element of Juror #2.

Clint Eastwood paints Juror #2 with subtle, masterful brush strokes.

That the film lays its cards on the table within its first 30 minutes might seem surprising. However, it eschews all elements of mystery for a distinctive purpose. There’s no doubt in Justin’s or the audience’s mind about what actually happened, so the drama is born from the uncertainty of what Justin might do next — and whether it’ll be effective. The factual truth lies in the details, but the film’s emotional truths are just as lucid, and they’re often conveyed through performance. 

Juror #2 may be a wordy film, but its dialogue is seldom expository, other than in scenes recounting the case. Each actor’s posture, their hesitance, and the turning of their mental and moral gears makes their characters’ motives crystal clear, even as the film’s own moral outlook grows murkier and more uncertain. You can tell exactly what a character is thinking just by observing their gaze, from the way they look at other people in the room, to the fleeting moments in which they avert their eyes, thinking silently to themselves. This is part of what makes the movie so enrapturing. The only time this technique is interrupted is when Eastwood and cinematographer Yves Bélanger pull purposefully from film noir, and use blinds and other physical elements to obscure Justin’s eyes in shadow. Uncertainty of plot, and of fact, briefly becomes the same thing as uncertainty of personal truth. 

As the film nears its conclusion, Eastwood sprinkles more moments of doubt along the way, ensuring that anything remotely didactic about Juror #2 swiftly melts away. Hollywood movies about American systems tend to feature a saccharine optimism (à la The Report, which finds hope in the concept of justice even in a film about military torture). However, Juror #2 takes a more cynical bent, if a more realistic one, not only about the ways in which justice can be miscarried, but also the personally driven reasons the U.S. justice system often takes the shape it does.

And yet, Eastwood stresses the vital importance of personal duty within that system without ever getting lost in jingoistic notions. When the jurors feel uncommitted to their roles at first, the filmmaking is noncommittal too, unfolding at an unobtrusive distance and with mechanical proficiency. But as the drama becomes more personal, and more intimate, his aesthetic approach becomes imbued with a ferocious vitality. 

The camera presses in on characters like Justin — and even on Allison, as if to question what, if anything, she knows — practically interrogating them, as it seeks to solve questions that may be unanswerable, in a system rife with imperfections, but one that strives to be “more perfect.” Juror #2 is old-school in its filmmaking, but it embodies a new school of thought for Eastwood, one briefly hinted at in Flags of Our Fathers but clarified with a newfound introspection and vulnerability. Deep-seated symbols and ideas become fluid, making space for captivating drama that both pays homage and paves its own path: a constant tussle between old and new.

Juror #2 opens in theaters Nov. 1.

How to watch the 2024 MotoGP Malaysia Grand Prix for free

Every MotoGP 2024 race is available to live stream for free on ServusTV.

ServusTV is geo-restricted to Austria, so if you’re traveling outside the country for this race you might need to use a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in Austria, meaning you can bypass geo-restrictions to access ServusTV from anywhere in the world.

Unblock ServusTV by following this simple process:

Sign up for a VPN (like ExpressVPN)

Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

Open up the app and connect to a server in Austria

Connect to ServusTV
