Oscar® winner Julia Roberts and Clive Owen reunite for Duplicity, from writer/director Tony Gilroy (seven-time Oscar®-nominated Michael Clayton). In the film, they star as spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair. When they find themselves on either side of an all-out corporate war, they discover the toughest part of the job is deciding how much to trust the one you love.

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. When the stakes rise, no one knows who is playing whom, and the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray becomes their growing attraction. 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.

DC wrote this on his Facebook: Duplicity ... You can't trust anyone.

He thought it was quite interesting but doesn't really hold substance towards the end. These two are supposed to be pros ... aren't they supposed to be always second-guessing? What if the truth is in fact, fake? In the end, I think the thought of winning big gets to us all in the end, even the most cunning of minds.

Me on the other hand, had a hard time understanding what the show was trying to say...

Well, the ending wasn't that bad, although duped, at least they gained love.
