"Duplicity" is a crappy movie

Posted on 9:36 AM by Unknown
On the flight from Toronto the airline showed "Duplicity" starring ugly Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. I knew a man, a Torontonian incidentally, who raved about the movie. A must-see! Fantastic, he said. I was soarly disappointed...then again, knowing the source of the acclaim, I probably should've known better.

"Duplicity" is all-star glossy crap
It should be an exciting movie but it isn't. Clive Ownen's character is, strangely, pussy-whipped over the supposedly femme fatale Miss Roberts. The kissing scenes were creepy. Worse still, is the amount of screen time Miss Roberts commands. Her wide mouth was in every other scene. Inescapable ugliness! My only recourse was to switch the audio to music and take refuge in a book. I always travel with a book.
