Movie Review: "Duplicity"

I like Clive Owen, but the last movie I saw of his was disappointing ("The International"). I went to a theatre hoping his movie "Duplicity" would be much better. After twenty minutes, I was surprised. This movie was the worst movie I had seen since "The International." This movie was in fact worse than that. You know how when a movie gets so boring, your movie seat, for some reason, starts getting hot, hard, and uncomfortable? This is how this movie made me feel like. Julia Roberts is a great actress, but it's very easy to be a great actress in such a boring movie. The storyline went all over the place, the dialogue was tastelessly simple and basic; it almost felt as if a third-grader wrote the script. The movie pretty much repeated itself over and over about every ten minutes. It would show Julia Roberts and Clive Owen getting "fake-mad" at each other, then it would show them make out. Then the scene would fade-away and I would hope the movie would end. . . . But it wouldn't! It showed another scene exactly the same, except in a different location! And what the hell were they spies for anyway? And were they on the same side or what? This movie just does not make any sense. Don't waste your time watching this movie. It is exactly like "The International," which got only 2 stars by the way. I would only reccomend this movie to people who have a bottle of sleeping pills on hand. You guys are going to need them.
