Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Duplicity (2009) is a comedic/romantic espionage film. It stars Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, and features Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson in supporting roles. I had to watch this film twice in order to really understand it all because a lot goes on and at times it is a little hard to keep up. This is definitely not a film you can half pay attention to, if you do then you'll be like wait a minute, what the hell is going on?? Just go into this one knowing and expecting that. With that being said, there are so many things that Duplicity gets right. The casting is spot on for every character, I loved how they all portrayed their individual characters. The chemistry between Roberts and Owen is great, they have a relationship sometimes without complete trust, which is understandable given what they do for a living. This leads to numerous humorous exchanges between the two, and these exchanges are very well written, just like the entire film is. The writing is smart and it keeps you engaged. The ending is what I absolutely adore in this movie, I didn't see it coming at all and it is rather surprising. I highly recommend this entertaining, well put together film. 9/10.

Competiting CEOs Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) and Richard Garsik (Paul Giamatti) truly truly hate each other. Back in 2003 Dubai, Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) working for the CIA drugs and takes advantage of Ray Koval (Clive Owen) working for MI6. Five years later, both are working in corporate espionage but are surprised that they're on the same team. Claire has worked her way into corporate security for Tully. Koval is working under Duke (Denis O'Hare) who is running the operation and works for Garsik. Tully is introducing something revolutionary and Garsik wants to know. Claire and Ray can never truly trust each other as spies for hire.Tony Gilroy is the writer/director. I like this murky complicated written story. I really like Roberts and Owen. It's a fun spy versus spy with twists and turns. They have great chemistry together. The drawback is mostly the product. It's a bit of a letdown and I'm not sure the final twist is as compelling as it thinks it is. It feels like a big artificial twist to pull the rug from under the viewer. And I don't think it makes complete sense.

Okay I have not seen this film in over a year, but I still am prepared to say that this, is just a really boring , and just not good film. I am sorry if I don't have enough evidence in this review, its just I have not seen this movie in a while, but I KNOW that this movie is bad.The plot had something to do with two rival companies or something along those lines, but the movie was not very what you may call " crystal clear".I remember not caring about any of the characters. The two main characters were shallow and uninteresting, which made this film even more hard to understand.I really don't know what else to say except: do not buy or rent this movie, its a waste of time and money, when you could be watching something good like "the hangover".3 out of 10 movie, it would probably be less, if I had not seen it in a while, but still a bad, boring , movie.

I just recently viewed the movie Duplicity with Clive Owen and Julia Roberts. Having saw there performance in "Closer" and noting what great chemistry these two have, I knew I would eventually watch this film.I am a sucker for a good thriller. And, if u like thrillers, this movie has it all. There are so many twists, and deals, and double crossings, you almost have to take a dramamine to get through it. It does get a little wonkish and complex during the middle. However, if u hang in there until the end, you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a simplistic action flick with a lot of explosions and very little plot, this movie is not for you. However, if u are looking for a sleek, sophisticated thrill ride of a movie, this one is for you. This is an excellent movie.
