Duplicity

Having just finished the enormously disappointing 'The International,' a 2009 espionage thriller starring Clive Owen, I can't believe I saw 'Duplicity'…another 2009 espionage thriller starring Clive Owen. Sue me, I'm a Julia Roberts fan, I actually like Owen – we all... Full review

Wow, I can't believe how many people are writing that this was too complex and they got lost in the plot. This is only to be expected when movies such as Wolverine pull in +85M on opening weekend. People complain that... Full review

After about 25 minutes I said to my wife - 'I could lose the will to live watching this!' The film is that bad - it is only saved by some sharp and witty exchanges between the two leads. Welcome back,... Full review

it's been more than a week and I'm still grousing over wasting $9.25 to see this waste of time. This is the movie version of the stage show "Creep" of the 1970's - no story, just continuous dirty tricks. Add to... Full review

Finally, someone has put the fun back in corporate irresponsibility! Consider "Duplicity," Tony Gilroy's romantic pharmaceutical-espionage caper, an antidote to news of bailouts, bankruptcies and bogus bonuses: The CEOs of "Duplicity" may be wasting millions of dollars, but at least they're...

I really wanted to like this film, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen two very good actors but no, I couldn't get to grips with the plot and characterisations or lack of either. I wasn't convinced Owen and Roberts were close despite... Full review

Well. This movie has only one thing going for it and that's the charm of Clive Owens. But it's hard to believe that the genius behind Michael Clayton had anything to do with this. The writing is horrible, and at 2... Full review

We went because we generally enjoy Julia Roberts. A tedious movie about uninteresting characters with a ho-hum plot. The plot was tedious, the supposed corporate product was boring as were the meanderings of characters. One of the worst movies we've seen... Full review

Greetings again from the darkness. The very imaginative and quite funny opening credit sequence sets the stage for a fun frolic through the world of corporate espionage. The only two problems ... it's not that much fun and there is very... Full review

But the beauty of Duplicity , the second film from writer-director Tony Gilroy ( Michael Clayton ), is the speed and dexterity with which the complicated story unfolds.....The film only seems confusing if you're not paying attention.....Gilroy and his brother John (who served as editor and co-producer) deliver an illuminating and informative commentary track recorded shortly before the film's release....they never talk about the disappointing public reception of the movie.....Gilroy says part of what makes ...

WHEN he's not writing the Jason Bourne films, Tony Gilroy uses his films to practise cinematic sleight-of-hand. He imparts enough information to create an impression and then turns it upside down. ... Full Article

Surveillance is clumsily shot in spots (there's a big car crash that is terribly choreographed and framed) and erratically acted in others. But the film also whips up an intriguingly odd, Twin Peaks -vibe from the opening moments set inside... ... Full Article
