Duplicity

Duplicity is an entertaining light thriller with a great cast that is ultimately a decent film. Following the twists and turns of two industrial espionage agents' attempt to steal 40 million dollars, Duplicity is more simple fun than dark thriller; in fact it's practically a comedy.

In my opinion Duplicity couldn't quite decide which path to take and ended up straddling the line between thriller and comedy, without realizing the strengths of either. As a thriller it's, well, not very thrilling. As a comedy it's funny at times but not overtly jokey. In the end Duplicity is solid entertainment thanks to its fantastic cast who make the most of the unique premise and have a lot of fun with the sharp dialogue. The use of too many repetitive flashbacks serve to drag out the movie far longer than it should have been, however, it's worth a look nonetheless. 3.5/5
