New York Post: "Nine years between star vehicles is an eternity in Hollywood, but in Julia Roberts' case the whip-smart, sexy and delightfully twisty romantic thriller "Duplicity" is more than worth the wait. Roberts, who's worked exclusively in ensembles since winning her Oscar for "Erin Brockovich," enjoys sizzling chemistry with Clive Owen in this instant classic."

New York Times: "However you describe it, ?Duplicity? is superior entertainment, the most elegantly pleasurable movie of its kind to come around in a very long time."

Variety: "This is about as good as it gets these days for sharp-minded Hollywood entertainment made for an intelligent audience, and Universal can only hope that Julia Roberts, in an excellent return to leading lady form, still has the B.O. pull to put this one over."

Los Angeles Times: "Frankly, even if you wanted to know more, the nature of "Duplicity's" plotting is so dazzlingly complex, so full of turns inside of twists and twists inside of turns, it's difficult to fully convey. The film makes your head spin like an amusement park ride you can barely hang on to, something that needs to be experienced to be appreciated."
