Editorial Review:
Oscar® winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as two sexy 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'll put everything on the line to remain one double-cross ahead in a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. From writer/director Tony Gilroy (seven-time Oscar®-nominated Michael Clayton) comes the film critics are raving about: “Roberts and Owen have sizzling chemistry in this instant classic.” (Lou Lumenick, New York Post)

Description of Duplicity [Blu-ray]:
Julia Roberts and Clive Owen surprise and delight on multiple levels in Duplicity, a caper film that keeps the audience guessing if the tone is cheeky, seriously, or both in exactly the same scene. Owen smolders as the relaxed, craggy sexual beast he's become--effortlessly--and Roberts is surprisingly mature and tic-less. And their chemistry threatens to explode out of the beaker. On one level, Duplicity is a sparring romance, bringing to mind the no-holds-barred zingers between Cary Grant and Roz Russell in His Girl Friday. But the film has layers of action and suspense, as well as a neat spin on the spy business. Instead of hunting for, or protecting, confidential state nuclear secrets, as each character once did when they first met, now they are beholden to captains of industry and Madison Avenue--seeking secrets not of national security, but of formulas to the next great… moisturizer. Director Tony Gilroy, who wrote all the Bourne films and wrote and directed Michael Clayton is clearly carving out a snappy path for himself as a master of sleek, suspenseful, energetic films that nonetheless appeal to a mass audience. A special shoutout to the opening scene of a mano a mano fistfight on a tarmac between Armani-clad CEOs (one played by an especially memorable Paul Giamatti). "You on one side, me on the other," says Roberts' Claire at one point to Owen's Ray. "It's perfect." Perfect grownup entertainment. --A.T. Hurley

Duplicity [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Very poorly done!
2009-12-15 - I was quite happy at the thought of Clive Owen & Julia Roberts teaming up together, but even their star power couldn't make me watch this again! This movie could have been really well done as the theme seems interesting enough, however it was SLOW going!! The movie also went back & forth from present day to their past so many times that it got irritating! I think watching commercials on the tv would have been better! I'm not usually this harsh because I love all sorts of movies! If your wanting a fast paced drama, a hot romance, & a clever plot, this movie is not for you!

Smart screenplay, Superbly entertaining, Great chemistry!
2009-12-07 - The one thing I regret about this film is that I didn't get the opportunity to see it in a theater. I'm truly puzzled by the negative reviews on Amazon.

This isn't a film to watch while you're doing something else; fixing dinner, checking your emails, etc. The screenplay was brilliant and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I never lost interest, not for one moment. Clive and Julia have terrific chemistry and I loved the dialogue.

This film plays to an intelligent audience and it keeps you on your toes. I've watched so many films where the ending is predictable. There was nothing predictable about "Duplicity". It may have you feeling that you've nailed it, only to turn around and pull the rug out from under your feet.

I'm very selective about the films I actually choose to purchase. When I finished watching this last night, I knew I had to have my own copy and I want one with all of the bells and whistles, including interviews with the Director, Producer, actors, etc. I'm watching it again tonight and that's a rave for me!

I love Clive Owen and he has some really memorable lines. It's great to see Julia Roberts back in full force. She's as stunning as ever and plays this role with great finesse.

If you want an action paced thriller (ho hum), this isn't your movie. No graphic sex scenes either but lots of great sexual chemistry. I hope to see Clive & Julia team up again soon.

The entire cast is brilliant! Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson fit their roles like a pair of old shoes. I don't know how anyone could find this film boring. I found it suspenseful and I was on the edge of my seat more than once. There is nothing predictable about this film. It has elements of "Sting", one of my favorite films of all time. Duplicity is absolutely one of my favorite films of '09!

Well written
2009-12-05 - I was initially very wary of watching this movie, simple because it had been praised unanimously by so many critics. It is rare that a movie that garners so much critical acclaim is indeed any good but I was pleasantly surprised. While I think it could have been better, it still has a lot to offer for lovers of movies which are smartly written and have complex plot lines. The leads Julia Roberts and Clive Owen act well and are spies in love but on the opposite sides of warring parties. Owen and Roberts first meet at a party in Dubai, she tricks him and steals secrets from him. They meet after five years. Throughout the movie it is unclear whether these two are in love or are going to cheat each other eventually. Their cat and mouse game and between the two multinationals that they represent has been directed by Tony Gilroy, who has earlier directed Michael Clayton. There are a lot of exotic locations but the real fun is the dialogue, wonderful one liners after a long time. Paul Giametti and Tom Wilkinson lend credible support. Loved Wilknonson, I wish they had given his character more footage. Watch it , it is a rare treat of witty dialogue and eye candy in exotic locations. Four stars 11/10/09.

Kept watching the time remaining
2009-12-03 - Tedious from start to finish. The whole premise was weak and the chemistry non-existent between the two main characters (which considering "Closer" I was almost sure they would do well here). Plus whomever did Julia's make up should be fired. Clive looked better than she did (and at least delivered a serviceable performance in spite of the script).

Duplicity....
2009-11-30 - What a waste of acting power!! This movie was so boring and full of sex scenes that make the story line non existant. It is just not what the trailor made it out to be....too bad for Julia Roberts and Clive Owen!
