Duplicity April 13, 2009

Where to start on this movie? First – I love Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. I would probably like most anything they are in. But, just because I like actors does Not mean that they are good together in movies. A good example? Warren Beatty and Annette Benning – I like both actors and, hell, they are actually married TO each other but in Love Affair?.. NO Chemistry… None… zip… nil. SNORE, in fact. So – I was relieved to have Chemistry between Julia Roberts and Clive Owen – it was fun watching them together and pretty darn believable.
Second – the plot was pretty good and the way that they jumped Back and Forth in time really helped maintain the confused feel of the movie. Who do you trust? Who is telling the truth? What do you actually Know? Which is not only the plot but how I felt frequently – like I thought I knew what was going on but Not.
Third – I cannot tell you the end but it is, in many ways, worth the whole movie.
I liked it – parts were funny, which I always like – I hate when movies forget and take themselves too seriously – parts were confusing and intriguing and I wanted to know what was going to happen and was invested in the characters. All and all – four stars.
