Reviews for Duplicity

Review - Duplicity

Mildly amusing, but certainly not great. And it isn't the sort of movie you could ever enjoy as much with a second viewing. Julia Roberts hasn't aged well, which is true of many of us. But she's still trying to look like she did in Pretty Woman and it isn't working.
