Review of Duplicity (2009) by Steven C — 28 Jul 2010
Tony Gilroy is such a talented writer/director. His debut feature "Michael Clayton" is one of my favorite films and his follow-up, "Duplicity", is a step down, but still a neat movie.
It's plot, while constantly involving and always keeps the viewer on their toes, is just too complicated in the end. While I certainly didn't mind it, I know others will. The movie has some beautiful images (courtesy of master DP Robert Elswit), one of the best scores James Newton Howard has every conducted, and two crackerjack performances from the incomparable Julia Roberts and dashing Clive Owen.
If you are in the mood for a heady, witty, adult caper; then "Duplicity" is right up your alley.
