Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and Ray Koval (Clive Owen) are former government operatives who are now collecting big paychecks from rival companies as corporate spies. Their latest mission is to grab the formula for a product that will earn a fortune for whichever company patents it first. The stakes grow even higher than expected when Claire and Ray become embroiled in a passionate, clandestine affair, though neither one can decide how far to trust the other.

"Duplicity" opens with a scene, shot in horrified slow motion, of corporate tycoons Paul Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson arguing and then wrestling and then punching each other on a rainy airport tarmac, while their slack-jawed employees wonder what has become of American business practices. Nothing duplicitous here: These men want each other's hearts on a platter. Writer-director Tony Gilroy makes this audaciously weird intro genuinely funny. I thought so, anyway. And if you do too, you'll probably enjoy "Duplicity" even as its narrative starts coiling around itself like a snake. (Full review)
