Simply put, Duplicity is slick and supposedly sexy spy espionage. ~~~DVD COVER~~~ The DVD cover is a montage of different film scenes, which is a style we see within the movie very often. This is quite an interesting cover in my opinion, although may be a bit too much. However, it is just about the right amount of malgamation and keeps you guessing as it does not give too much away. ~~~THOUGHTS ON PLOT~~~ The basis of the plot is that two "spies" who keep bumping into each other fall in love and devise a plan to trick millions out of two rival companies and run away together. This is done with lots of time jumping and location ...  Read the complete review

Stars - Clive Owen & Julia Roberts Cert - 12a Run-Time -125 minutes Genre - Rom-con-spy-com.

She is ...  Read the complete review

Duplicity is a film that will confuse you on so many levels, as it is one of those films that has a slow reveal, jumping about in time to show you a little more at a time until you see the whole picture. While this sort of film can sometimes be beyond my concentration level, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, mainly due to the chemistry and on screen charisma of the 2 main stars, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Claire (Roberts) is a CIA agent when she meets Ray (Owen), who works for MI6. They seduce each other, only for Claire to drug Ray, and steal important papers from his briefcase. When they next meet 5 years later, Ray is very angry with Claire, only they have ...  Read the complete review

When Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and Ray Koval's (Clive Owen) paths cross, they begin an intimate affair. Ex-CIA agent, Claire, comes up with a plan where the two of them can work together in making a huge $40 million. With Claire working for a corporate giant in New York who have recently announced a new product development, so valuable that it would cause their main competitor to sink, Ray (who used to work for MI6) takes up a job with the competitor. With one of them working on either side, and with the CEOs each desperately wanting the product, they come up with their own ingenious plan to get their hands on it first and, in doing so, make themselves a ...  Read the complete review
