Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Duplicity is entertaining, but the complexities of its plot keep it from being really involving. | 15 | |
eye Weekly Jason Anderson A lighter variation on the espionage thrillers that writer-director Tony Gilroy has made his forte with Michael Clayton and the Bourne movies he scripted, Duplicity has plenty of snap and crackle but not quite enough pop. | 10 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Given the assault of devilishly clever plot twists that buzz-bomb your brain like a two-hour binge of quad-shot lattes, Duplicity goes down as too smart for its own good. | 13 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Overall, it's a decent offering, and it's always good to see something aimed at those looking for something beyond juvenile cinematic offerings. I only wish the chemistry had been hotter and the plot filled with more twists, switchbacks and such. | 10 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Duplicity is well-crafted, smart, and often funny, but it’s mostly more cerebral than visceral and features far too many plot twists. | 13 | |
