Duplicity 5/10
I was disappointed in the performance of Julia Roberts. Not sure what I was expecting, but she seemed to be just "going through the motions." But I refuse to say her days as an actress are done. Clive Owen seemed a little sluggish as well. Paul Giamatti...eh. He put nothing extra into it. The best performance by far was by Kathleen Chalfant. I am always intrigued by her characters. And the film? There wasn't a spark in this film. It could have been an episode of Mission Impossible. It was entertaining, but I was ready for it to end before it reached the end.
