Synopsis:
DUPLICITY is a slick, Soderberghian comic caper in which its never exactly clear who is being conned. Its easy to see that ex-CIA agent Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and former MI6 member Ray Koval (Clive Owen) have a heated history together when they embark on an elaborate mission of corporate espionage. Two rival CEOs (played by the always fantastic Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti) are battling for the top spot in their industry, and a top-secret new product would determine who would wear the crown. But this isnt just about business innovation and profit: Claire and Ray have a plan that would help them get the prized formula and walk away with millions.

Tony Gilroys previous work as screenwriter and director--namely the Jason Bourne films and MICHAEL CLAYTON--didnt give any indication that he could create something this bouncy and light. But while DUPLICITY is fun, its never dumb; it jumps back and forth in time with style, playing an elaborate game that its scheming lead characters would be proud of. As Ray and Claire, Owen and Roberts display the same fiery chemistry that they showed in the gut-punching romantic drama CLOSER, but this time, they play (mostly) nice. If DUPLICITY can draw comparison to the classic genre bender CHARADE, then its not a stretch to liken Owen to Cary Grant--he has an easy charm that ensnares not only each woman in the film but everyone in the audience as well.
