Counting down days to the theatrical opening of "Duplicity" in the U.S., Universal Pictures took it to Ziegfeld Theater for the U.S. premiere for the drama thriller film. Held on Monday night, March 16, the special event was attended by some of the movie stars, including Julia Roberts, Clive Owen, Tom McCarthy, Denis O'Hare, Carrie Preston and Paul Giamatti.

Aside from posing for the press line upon their arrival, several of them made time to answer questions on the red carpet. Asked by USA Today "who would win in a battle of wits", Owen suggested that his co-star Roberts would win, saying "She would, because she's very smart." Roberts, who was wrapped in Christian Dior on the evening, could not agree more of the remark, saying "I would. It's just me. I have my tricks."

Long, and awkward. Julia Roberts and Clive Owen are great but the story is much too convoluted. It starts out with you not knowing who to trust and you end up the exact same way. The random flashbacks don't help to speed up the pace or solidify exactly who or what the focus or the story should be.

I agree with the comments long nd awkward. I have to admit to being tired of Julia Roberts (to me she's always the same), and the dialogue in this was too cryptic to follow. I couldn't work out what the story was actually about.

Long, boring, senseless!

Loved it. Mature and interesting Julia Roberts. Movie-goers need to pay attention to the story. Not meant for those who like "Entertainment Made Easy." Keep coming with the smart writing and characters.

Boring and stupid. 3 of the 5 people who went to the movie with me actually fell asleep. Fell asleep! I've NEVER done that before. We ran into a friend after the film, and he said he was going home to take a nap. Who payed off the professional reviewers?

For people that like things basic and 1-2-3, a-b-c... this movie is NOT for you. You really have to already be a "think outside the box" type of person. One that already thinks complex, or else you won't get it. It was terrific and plain genius!

Wonderful movie, lots of unexpected twists and the chemistry between julia and Clive is great! Anybody who falls asleep in this one is probably asleep most of the time.

It's a bit boring and not really interesting strategy of counterposition and an common and easy to guess ending.
