Duplicity

Oscar winner Julia Roberts (“Erin Brokovich”) and Oscar nominee / loser Clive Owen (“Closer”) reunite (after their first teaming in “Closer”) for “Duplicity,” from Oscar nominated writer / director Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton”). In the movie “Duplicity,” the duo star as spies-turned-corporate operatives in the midst of a clandestine love affair. When they find themselves embroiled in a high-stakes espionage game, they discover the toughest part of the job is deciding how much to trust the one you love. CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Clive 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 (multi Oscar nominee Tom Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (multi Oscar nominee 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. Oscar winner Billy Bob Thornton costars in the movie “Duplicity.”
