Duplicity (2009)


A pair of corporate spies who share a steamy past hook up to pull off the ultimate con job on their respective bosses.

The convoluted plot twist of this spy love affair can't disguise the predictable ending.

On second view it does have its moments of humor as an espionage spoof.

Maltin **1/2: "High-toned hybrid of romantic comedy and espionage yarn...It isn't hard to recognize this as the work of the same writer-director who brought us MICHAEL CLAYTON, though his complicated flashback/flash-forward structure will keep you on your toes. The stars' chemistry - and a strong supporting cast - trumps the realization that the movie is really one long shaggy-dog joke."
