What I loved most: The entertaining twists and turns

What I really hated: Fractured timeline is confusing to those not paying attention

Tony Gilroy has proven he can do smart and captivating thrillers like the best of them, and here he shows his chops in making smart, captivating thrillers that are tons of fun to boot. The scenes sizzle and spark, and the twists and turns and backstabbing and intrigue are endlessly entertaining.

What I loved most: Keeps You Guessing Til The Very End

This is such a classic espionage movie with both the male and female leads falling for each other amidst the assignments they undertake. It's like Mr & Mrs Smith (2004) but without all the guns, weapons, etc. Actually it's lacking in action scenes if that's what you're going for. But it more than makes up for the lack of action scenes with the witty dialogues and intelligent conversations, that are peppered with puns and innuendos. The characters are devilishly aloof, blase, and ooze sex appeal (but not in an overtly procatively sexy way a la Megan Fox). The casting director did such a great job, Julia is very assertive and can come across as somewhat cold - that's an integral part of her character; Clive has this twinkle in the eye, a certain mischeif audience members latch onto, and he has no qualms about using his charms to get what he wants. Superb acting! It's a confident, intelligent movie that will keep you guessing til the very end. In a market flooded by so many action films year-round, it's welcoming to see a spy movie from a different take, done in a different way. I love action flicks dont' get me wrong, but sometimes clever innuendos and ingenious dialogues are so much more fun :) After all, from a pragmatist's point of view - not every spy goes round blasting machine guns. Sometimes things are done the classier way. I love how the film is made up of memories/snapshots, like '2002 Prague', '6 months ago', 'Rome, 6 months later'... but the whole fastforwarding/rewinding business can be quite confusing as well. Definitely a sexy must-see movie! Loves it.

What I loved most: Excellent acting

What I really hated: Disruptive flashbacks

"Duplicity" is not unlike 2004's 'Mr and Mrs Smith', without the technical gadgets and explosions, but with more class and panache. An inexplicable serendipity intertwines two machiavellian individuals, one an ex-MI6 agent, the other an ex-CIA officer, both with no compunctions about exploiting the Achilles's heel of each other in the face of a great corporate overhaul. Crafty, amoral and opportunistic, they seek to gain advantage over each other at every turn. Yet, they seem to connect very well, compelling them to safeguard their own vulnerabilities from each other. Before long, occupational paranoia sets in and distrust ensues. This romance espionage caper dispels illusory and quixotic beliefs about absolute faith and unwavering loyalty between two people in love and is also, a critque on the unscrupulous dog-eat-dog world of business magnates. Its two charimatic leads, Julia Roberts and Clive Owens are undeniably the star attraction of the show. Roberts oozes sex appeal with her seraphic beauty and sartorially elegant dressing. Owens exudes suave debonair charm and masculine heat with his deep baritone and urbane manner. The two are flawless complements to each other, their subterfuges and witty repartees amusing to watch. Between perfidious betrayals and clandestine trysts, they stir up sizzling romance that will capture your attention like a marching band, comparable to that of the delectable Brosnan-Renee duo in "The Thomas Crown Affair". Apart from disruptive flashbacks and plot convolutions, this smart and twisty romp is a godsend, a deliverance from the nonsense playing in theatres recently and THIS is what I call salvation.
