Advantages: Fun to watch, good chemistry between Owen and Roberts Disadvantages: Formulaic in parts and it would be nice to see Roberts in a different kind of role
Although it's good to see Julia Roberts back, doing something other than an 'Oceans' film, it's not much of a departure really in roles, and she's in danger of being type-cast. Having said that she does do it well and although she has seen better days, it's still great to see her on screen. The film has also gone some way to restoring my faith in Clive Owen. Also will he ever stop looking good in a suit? I think suits were invented, and have evolved over the years, specifically so that Clive Owen can wear them in movies and look that good. It's frustrating. From a males point of view. Anyway, I digress. I thought Duplicity was a smart, funny film, thoroughly enjoyable if taken in your stride. ...

Advantages: It's a slick Hollywood espionage thriller... Disadvantages: It's less than the sum of its parts.
for the espionage itself and many individual motifs for specific characters or scenarios, so the sound-scapes feel rather busy, but overall the music fits the film and its sense of fun.
?Duplicity? is a frothy confection that plays out like a spy-cum-date movie. The direction is smart and sprightly, almost covering up the fact that there is hardly any plot with its tricksy plotting and relentless pace. The central scheme is nicely knotty and the main characters are likeable enough. The performances are slick and starry and the actors are obviously enjoying their work. However, enjoyable as it may be, it is less than the sum of its parts because once you get past all the rug-pulling there?s nothing much underneath. So while it may make you smile the first time round, it won?t be massively re-watchable once the scam has been unravelled. I?d give it a go ...

**WHAT I THOUGHT**
Personally I love this film. Martin, Chase and Short work well together and are very comical. It has loads of funny bits in it and is suitable for the whole family. I remember watching it as a kid and loving it. I bought it on dvd as I remember how funny it was. It was still as funny and I?m glad I?m bought it. Sadly there are no extras on the dvd. Unless you count the US Trailer! It would have been nice to see some decent extras.
The outfits that the Three Amigos are good as well. They are not what you imagine a ?real? cowboy to wear (look ...
