I was confused throughout most of the parts I could stay awake for.Didn't see the point. All the double crossing just made for a big mess. It took about half dozen tries to watch it all at once & that still didn't help me to understand the plot. Thankful I did not pay to rent this - I would not recommend to others.

The only blessing of this movie is that you can sleep through most of it... and you won't have missed a thing. This was terrible.

to action packed but not emotionally engaging.

Amusing & entertaining story about ex-CIA agents working in the world of corporate espionage. Some fun dialogues and scenes.

A good viewing but pay attention. Almost as if it had two sets of main characters with the corporate entities, every scene practically built around them yet hardly appearing in any actual scenes, and your duet leads. Tricky!

Fun movie; the ending was good.

Julia Roberts & Clive Owens trudge mechanically through the motions of intrigue & romance in this cold, complicated industrial-espionage thriller/con caper. Yawn.

Liked it. DUPLICITY is aptly named because the double-crosses in this movie, intentional and incidental, coupled with the double-entendres in the script, work well to convey the message that when it comes to the cut-throat business of high-stakes consumer products - corporate America is prepared to do anything and everything imaginable - evil or otherwise - to give itself an edge in the marketplace. So, Julia Roberts' and Clive Owens' characters collaborate to outwit and rip off the very people they work for (or do they work for them?) in a complicated plot that twists and turns into a series of several sub-plots that'll have you also wondering: Might they also be in love? The film is too clever by half - going back & forth like that into their past & present lives, to arrive at some veritable truth in all these shenanigans. And the final scenes may be disappointing to those who like everything neat and sweet as far as endings go. But all-in-all, I think the movie worked for me because sometimes, as much as it sucks to say it, Devine Justice comes in many ways... including the unusually twisted denouement that greets our two anti-heroes, and we, as an audience are forced to accept as their just reward.

While other people say that this movie was too complicated, I had no problem with the detailed nature of the plot. The fault I saw in the movie was the acting performances by Julia Roberts and Clive Owen; both very generic and far below their standards. The movie had some nice and clever parts to it, but was not that great over all.

Many have complained that Duplicity has too complicated a storyline, that it is difficult to follow and that the plot is too complicated. As far as I'm concerned, these make it a terrific movie: Duplicity presents viewers with a challenging movie that doesn't spoon-feed them and requires them to think and concentrate rather than just sit back and passively let the story wash over them. I thought it was a smart, sharp, witty, clever film and enjoyed the performances of all of the leads.
