The Movie
( ½ out of )
Duplicity is a romantic thriller directed by Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton) and starring Clive Owen and Julia Roberts. Owen plays Ray Koval, a former MI-6 agent who is now a corporate spy for hire. Julia Roberts plays Claire Stenwick, a corporate spy with whom Koval repeatedly crosses paths on their various engagements. Ray and Claire become romantically involved but there is a distinct lack of trust in their relationship, given their professions and their competitive history. Ray and Claire eventually team up and collaborate on a big score at the expense of their corporate employers. Since they do not trust each other, who is playing whom? This question is gradually answered as their mission proceeds to completion in between flashbacks filling in the history of Ray’s relationship with Claire.
