Duplicity (2009)


Clive Owen and Julia Roberts are rival corporate spies and lovers, except they have no sexual chemistry and Roberts looks old. The caper tale — told in flashbacks and in exotic cities — isn’t nearly as clever as it thinks it is. The film outsmarts itself.

  1. You're spot on about the no chemistry. It was almost like they didn't even like one another.

  2. I kept thinking of different casting choices during the movie -- like Pierce Brosnan and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
