Duplicity

Nope, didn't find it in search. But then again, search doesn't work very well anyway.

So I have been reading reviews, and it's either hot or cold. Most people think it's boring, some think it is very intelligent and heady. If it is truly smart, then I will love it just as much as a popcorn thriller.

I like Owens and Roberts. They have had good chemistry before. Heck I like Giamatti. I want to like this movie, but the ratings for it are just abysmal.

65% on RT
C+ user rating on Yahoo (That's truly bad. Most movies get at least a B on Yahoo. )

First showing starts in 40 minutes, and I think I am going. Anyone else think this could be decent?

will definitely rent it. I have a hunch that the advertising is about 90% off from what the film actually is. This is the writer/director of Michael Clayton, who also wrote the Bourne films (bitter over the direction of his screenplays, however), and well-known for reversal-driven dialogue-heavy suspense.

Should be good.

Ok so it was a decent flick. I thought it was well done and kept me guessing until the end. Usually I will figure out what is going on, but the jumps back and forth kept the ending well shrouded. I thought it was pretty well acted and pretty well written. I don't think it will appeal to mass audiences though. It has too many twists that the general moviegoer might get bored and not stay for the finish.

I give it an 8 out of 10.

Julia Roberts is terrible

yup. exactly why the marketing "wizards" have queued up the ads to sell it as a typical Julia Roberts romantic caper flick.

I'm gonna see it twice.
