Duplicity


CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first. Pic is a strange but surprisingly effective combination of romantic comedy and crime caper. From the two leads to the lavish hotel suites throughout Europe, everything looks exquisite. While it keeps the viewer guessing who is conning who, it begins to boarder on the absurd with one contrived, implausible double-cross after another. A worthy effort from writer/director Gilroy but not on the level of his excellent "Michael Clayton."
