When it comes to frothy genre flicks powered by a pair of renowned and supremely gifted A-listers, the general rule of thumb is that audiences will prefer the end product to critics. While the latter camp is actively seeking flaws in the construction and execution, paying crowds simply want to have a good time. With that in mind, 2009’s Duplicity turned out to be a very curious case indeed.

Written and directed by current Andor showrunner Tony Gilroy (who was hot off the back of making his feature-length debut wielding the megaphone on the awards season favorite Michael Clayton), Julia Roberts and Clive Owen share the screen as former spies who now work in the private sector earning big bucks from committing corporate espionage.
