After a year of maternity leave, Lina (Holly Prentice) returns to her old job, working as a team with her identical twin sister Kia (also Holly Prentice) ... as a hitwomanh for Everett's (Paul Marlon) assassin-for-hire organisation. On her first day back, the two women are sent on a killing spree, and the first two kills go without a hitch, even if Lina is on the phone with her babysitter (Tish Piwowarek) than doing any actual killing. Problem arise when they arrive at a mansion where they don't find their targets but instead are attacked by a bunch of armed men. This is nothing the girls can't handle, but it gets tricky when they find themselves locked into the mansion, find out the armed men worked for the same organisation as they do, and suddenly they receive orders to kill one another, and extra pressure is put on Lina as she's told her one year old is held hostage by whoever is doing this ..

Now ok, part of this film feels rather far-fetched, like the organisation of mask-wearing assassins that still grants maternity leave, but the film does a good job at world-building and is very grounded in other aspects of its story so the far-fetched concepts make sense at least in the framework of the movie. And it also helps that the film isn't just dead serious but chooses a light-footed approach, best witnessed in the banter between the two sisters. And Holly Prentice sure does a great job playing them both as distinclty different characters, so much so that their exchanges actually feel real. On top of all of that, Double Kill is also pretty much wall-to-wall action, and all the fights and shoot-outs are exciting and well-staged for sure, only helping to make this a pretty entertaining piece of action cinema.
