No really, I fell asleep. Woke up and the same thing was going on - don't see this at the later time - unless you need help falling asleep.

If ur a dumb person u will not get this movie

by

I have always been a fan of clive and julia, this movie was a must for me, but when i came to this site and read some of the horrible reviews some people left, i was stunned.

After seeing the movie, i now know why people keep saying the movie is confusing, if ur a dumb idiot and not a very intellectual person then this is not the movie for u. If u have any smarts, then u wil love this movies loops, mind games, and plot.

Great movie, people dont talk trash and give bad reviews to a movie, just because your infant minds cannot grasp the complex plot!

Intellectuals, this is the movie for you!

GO SEE IT!

A++++++

Duplicity

by MomMovie

I thought this was a clever movie. I expected it to be another "Mr Smith Mrs. Smith" movie, but far from it. It was an intelligent plot and had a nice surprise ending. Really believable.

Duplicity

by George_Duff

The movie was pretty good--the acting was good--but you had to pay close attention to the action at all times. I kept watching for a "boffo" ending, but I thought it fell kind of flat after all that intrigue. In fact, I wasn't sure exactly what had happened. I had to come home, think about it and replay it in my mind before I could reach a somewhat-reasonable conclusion. I would suggest to anyone going to see this movie that they try to memorize the names of the secondary actors as it goes along so that at the end you will be able to figure out who did what to whom! And all that "distrust" between Julia and Clive, although I realize that was supposed to be the crux of the matter, tired me out!

Duplicity

by Pirie

Could have used a bit more passion and suspense, but it was a witty satire on spy movies, or consumer society, and the limits of trust between lovers, spies or not.

Loved it!

by burkebunch2@msn.com

I loved the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Clive Owens, they heated up the screen. I also loved the plot and the adventure along the way. Very well done, very entertaining, and fun.

Not enough romance, not enough action, not enough intrigue . . . just not enough

by lawgrad07

After looking forward to seeing this movie for weeks I was disappointed. I didn't buy the relationship between Julia's and Clive's characters (which I think is important to accepting the premise of the movie) and the storyline with the scenes going back in time made the storyline confusing at points.

At two hours, the movie was at least 30 minutes too long. I was bored after an hour and felt that with the time invested so far the plot should have been further along.

I spent a lot of time admiring how Clive looked in his suits and taking in the scenery as opposed to being invested in the plot of the movie.

Julia's character got on my nerves and Clive's character seemed to be a wuss at times which annoyed me.

I don't regret spending the $5.00 that I did, but I wouldn't recommend spending more than that.

Duplicity

by gayel2000

I found the movie to be a little confusing and and not entertaining. It was not like I would want to see it again or really recommend it to anyone else. It just really had nothing in it to get me excited about watching it.

HUH??

by sole63

My wife and I left the theater a bit confused. The flashbacks and slow pace of the movie were distracting. The ending was not very satisfying. Don't know if we would recommend this movie to others.

Prepare for confusion

by MovieBuffSince1955

If you like Julia Roberts and Clive Owen you will like this movie. It is convoluted and you can get lost in the look-backs, but it does have interesting, although contrived, ending.

Great Movie!

by gailann1

I am so glad I read these poor reviews before I went to see it. They made me really pay close attention to the plot...and there IS a plot. However, you could get lost quite easily and be left behind if you aren't paying attention. Both Julia and Clive were entertaining and the ending was priceless! Go see it but DO NOT let your mind wander for a minute or you WILL be lost.

Duplicity, the second run.

by JDB728

I just saw this at a $3 theater and it was pretty good. Some of it was predictable, but the ending was great.
I don't really have much to say about this other then if it's playing at a $3 or some cheap second run type of theater near you, go see it. If you don't have a cheap theater playing it really close to you just wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray. It goes without saying that it's well worth the watch either way you see it.

One thing that didn't sit well with me is that Julia Roberts was the lead female. Please don't ask why(because I really don't know myself) but I just don't like Julia Roberts in lead roles. She's a fine actress, just something doesn't sit right with me in regards to her leading roles.
Every other aspect of the film was really good though, especially Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti.

Thanks and happy watchings.

Duplicity

by lcm276

Well written, fast moving, clever writing.
Well acted and well cast...Julia Roberts all grown up and a sophisticated beautiful sexy woman. Clive Owen wonderful. Cathleen Chalfont, the pro she is. Everyone excellent.
A movie for adults who think. Like the great movies of old. Roberts and Owen could become another sophisticated comedy team.
All this AND.....NO VIOLENCE and NO unneccessary nudity or sex for the sake of shock value.

Funny With A Plot Too

by kmnelson52

I thought "Duplicity" was a cleverly done movie. A lot of critics have complained about plot twists and flashbacks, but they're what makes the movie so clever. Julia Roberts was sexy and funny, which was good to see. Don't wait for this one to come out on DVD/Blu-Ray...go see it on the big screen!

Duplicity

by funbox16

Duplicity was horrible. It had a very hard plot to follow, and the whole movie was just a bunch of flashbacks. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my money. I wouldn't even buy it on DVD. The movie previews looked good, but the movie was terrible. DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!
