Duplicity

This is an odd follow-up to Michael Clayton. It's not bad by any stretch but what the heck is it? SHR and I had no idea what was going on half of the time. It felt like an Ocean's movie but was about corporate spies rather than a typical heist. It had huge stars but Julia Roberts is such dead weight. There were absolutely no sparks between her and Clive Owen and there were supposed to be.

Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti were fun in their roles but the whole thing seemed a bit off. It strives way too hard to be irreverent and light. The first hour it kind of worked. But by the homestretch of the second half, I was ready for it to be over.
