Witty Take on Corporate Espionage

A Dann Gire movie review...
After winning seven Oscar nominations for his excellent corporate drama "Michael Clayton," Tony Gilroy lightens up the cloak-and-dagger subculture of American business with "Duplicity," a witty, comic romance well-equipped with snappy dialogue, a time-twisted narrative and the closest character to James Bond that Clive Owen has ever handled...


Gilroy's fascination with corporate intrigue pays off. He immerses us in an authentic world of obsessive corporate competitors who go so far as to buy entire landfills just so they can go through the garbage for useful information...

With a title like "Duplicity," you know there's got to be a payoff waiting in the wings. (
