Duplicity, the new somewhat dark suspense-comedy starring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen marks a retreat from the formulaic and slapstick brand of comedy that has dominated Hollywood for a while now and a return to the funny movie where the audience lingers for a split-second behind the punch lines and has to bring its brain into the auditorium.
Without giving away any plot twists, Owen and Roberts play spies (he Brit, she Yank) who decide they could make more money playing a covert game in the corporate world than they could as run of the mill spooks (albeit at the top of their games).
That's about all I can say about it without giving stuff away, but let me add that folks who loved The Sting and Oceans 11 will likely enjoy this movie, a lot...
