DUPLICITY

Agent MI-6 Ray Coval (Clive Owen) falls in love with Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) in a barbeque party in account to the celebration of American independent day in Dubai. He just realized that Claire is an agent of CIA after knowing that she absconds with the documents and willingly slept with him even just a night. Years later, those two spies get another meeting when Ray is completing his duties given by an enormous company, Equikrom, while Claire works for the Equikrom’s competitor, Burket & Randle, which will be ready for releasing the new product keenly wanted by Equikrom. As the boss of Ray, Richard Garsik asks him to find out its formula. Both companies compete seizing the ownership of the new product.
Just the same as I LOVE TROUBLE, Ray and Claire performs their own style of quarreling. Indeed, Julia Roberts, who played more less the same character last 15 years, is still able performing this character well. After having a long time absence, Roberts plays a role as a smart, sexy, and cunning character. In the age of 41, she’s still comfortably acting and the camera is still friendly with her. Unlike Owen who performs his arrogant character wonderfully and cannot be refused by women, Roberts here conducts her role freely.
