Duplicity - Movie Review and Synopsis

A pair of corporate spies (Owen and Roberts) who share a steamy past hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses — but can they learn to truly love and trust one another?

Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) is back to write, direct, and confuse with another crime/suspense story, but this time there’s some lovemaking to be had. I’m all phew for many reasons: Tom Wilkinson’s has reunited with Gilroy for another supporting role; Paul Giamatti replaced Billy Bob Thornton as one of the warring CEOs; we finally get to see what Ocean’s 11 could have been like if Tess were allowed to be more than wallpaper; Clive Owen takes a break from dark/stressful thrillers to deliver some mystery and cheer. But what this project could really use? A title change.

Rated PG-13 for language and some sexual content.
