Although "Duplicity" is a thriller type of film, its core is a romantic comedy with no dangers. Although a lot of conspiracy and suspense are added to the interesting scenes in the play, the hot action scenes in "Smiths" will not appear. Even if there are action scenes, they will win in a funny way. The entire viewing process of the film is easy, no matter how daunting dangers the hero and heroine encounter, the audience knows that they will surely be turned away. In addition to the many loopholes in the story details, the witty and sharp dialogue between Julia Roberts and Clive Owen is very eye-catching. The director's eloquence and sophistication are rarely seen on the big screen. The performance of the two protagonists is relaxed and in place, and the mastery of the roles can be described as easy to use.

A love film in the guise of a spy film, but this work written and directed by Tony Gilroy not only does not combine the advantages of the two, but instead absorbs the shortcomings of the two. It ended up being a failure. Although the film failed, there is still something remarkable about it. The repeated progress of the three reunion scenes left some simple aftertastes despite the overall pretense of complexity.

Too many unnecessary little circles! Without the so-called style of spy movies!
Duplicity quotes
-
Claire Stenwick: If I told you I loved you, would it make any difference?
Ray Koval: If you told me or if I believed you?
Claire Stenwick: I love you. I really do. I don't know why you would believe me. I don't know why we'd believe anything anymore. I just keep having this fantasy that we suddenly snap out of it, that we come out of this and be like people are supposed to be, like, trusting and honest.
Ray Koval: We're not like other people.
Claire Stenwick: I know that. Don't you think I know that? Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to know that you are the only man who could ever possibly understand me? Look, I know who you are. And I love you anyway.

Claire Stenwick: How do I know you?
Ray Koval: How do you know me? Wow! That's a strong play. Believe me, I spent a lot of time thinking what this would be like. Where it'd be, what I'd say, what you'd say, but I never thought it...
Claire Stenwick: I'm sorry, I just...
Ray Koval: You really wanna go this way?
Claire Stenwick: Look you clearly have me confused with someone else.
Ray Koval: I don't know. I'm not great on names. I should be. I try. Faces I'm definitely better. I'm like a B, B-. Where I'm good, where I really excel, people I have slept with. That's been a traditional area of strength of me.
