Duplicity Review eventer Jul 7th, 09, 06:29 PM #1 (permalink)


Quote:
Oscar® winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen reunite for Duplicity, from writer/director Tony Gilroy (seven-time Oscar®-nominated Michael Clayton). In the film, they star as spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair. When they find themselves on either side of an all-out corporate war, they discover the toughest part of the job is deciding how much to trust the one you love.

CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first.

For their employers—industry titan Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (Paul Giamatti)—nothing is out of bounds. When the stakes rise, no one knows who is playing whom, and the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray becomes their growing attraction. As they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can’t cheat their way out of: love.

Plot as above....

Overall the movie was alright but not super. There are a lot of talking and flashbacks that occur during the show from few days, weeks, months to years....and that can bore viewer to sleep...

There are some funny scenes though quite weak to really give a real chuckle...probably because both Julia Roberts and Clive Owen were very serious in their corresponding roles

The ending is also very much predictable....

I rate it 3 out of 5 stars....

Here's the trailer

It is a battle of wits actually...

The main plot is about the fight between two consumer product companies....

And Julia Roberts and Clive Owens were spies who are infiltrating the companies to see how they can benefit for their own interests...

Its confusing also because suddenly the movie went back few years, few months, few weeks and even few days ago.....


Definitely not the best battle-of-wits film out there...
