From the writer/director of Michael Clayton, Duplicity is a smart, slick and cool espionage movie. Academy AwardŽ winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as two sexy spies turned-corporate operatives who attempt to pull off one of the biggest heists ever. As the stakes rise in the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse, they'll put everything on the line to remain one double-cross ahead of the rest.

Who gets played?

A Customer from SW London, 11th April, 2009

Well, from the film title it's clear someone is out to be played (or conned in other words), but who, exactly could that be? The film is not very easy to follow with flashbacks all over the place that muddle the plotline somewhat. However, despite the odd flashbacks that didn't really have much of a sequence to it, it was possible to follow the story to the end.Personally I found the film tedious to watch, as it lacked the pace that was necessary to keep the viewer interested.I guess I found it really hard to believe how mucky coroporate espionage is and to what extraordinarily great lengths companies will go to, to top the competition.I wasn't particularly interested in watching the film but my friend is a huge Owen fan and wanted to see the film , so I went along. On this occasion the film is sadly, as lacklustre as the trailer!

Not worth the effort

Dunlop from , 31st March, 2009

This film is awful, it jumps around all over the place. If it were interesting that that would be fair enough, but it is boring & pointless.

A big let down

Henspens from , 31st March, 2009

I really enjoy watching Julia Roberts USUALLY and it's true to say that she's ok in this film but the plot is so jumpy going back and forth that after about 20 mins you loose it completely and give up trying to follow it. Clive Owen is as wooden as a park bench and not at all attention grabing on the screen. The story line is clever and could have been put across so much better. Don't waste your money or time in seeing this film.

SuzyK from , 19th November, 2009

Fast-paced and confusing in a 'help me get to grips with this' kind of a way ... lovely when the penny starts to drop, but you're never quite sure which way it's gonna twist and turn. LOVED the ending - unexpected which is always a bonus. Almost worth a re-watch just to catch up with the bits you miss first time round! Extremely entertaining.

never got to see it

soz from , 18th November, 2009

Unfortunately this DVD was scratched and we only ended up watching 15mins but what a 15mins they were. I am adding it back to the list because it looks brilliant.
