Duplicity

Julia Roberts (in case you weren’t aware) in a story that was pitched a little low at a 12a rating in the UK and consequently a little slow, especially in the beginning with a long drawn out fight sequence in slow motion, which I felt like ok I get this can we move on now? Clive Owen as usual did a standup job. Nice cinematography by Robert Elswit who has director of photography on Michael Clayton, Syriana, Punchdrunk love and a whole bunch of other films. Also interesting use of split screens in editing by John Gilroy (Pride and Glory, Michael Clayton), which helped pick up the much needed pace later in the film.
