I think Julia Roberts is overrated. For some reason everyone in America loves the woman…but if she quit acting and became a painter, I’d be okay with it.

Now while I don’t care about Julia…I can’t say the same about Clive Owen, Tom Wilkinson, Paul Giamatti and writer/director Tony Gilroy. All of these gentlemen are as talented as anyone working today, and if they were making a movie about the best way to stand on a beach in the hot sun, I’d pay to see it. Thankfully, they’ve made a movie about spies and corporate espionage.
According to the synopsis:
CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first.
For their employers—industry titan Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (Paul Giamatti)— nothing is out of bounds. But as the stakes rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier, the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can’t cheat their way out of: love.
I know they’ve test screened the movie not too long ago and I heard positive things. With a script by Tony Gilroy…it’s not surprising.
Anyway, here’s the first trailer and it looks like a lot of fun. Click here for HD. “Duplicity” arrives March 20th, 2009.
