Where the h*ll has Ms. Julia Roberts been? She left movie-goers with the likes of Vanessa Hudgens and Megan Fox (who is quite attractive but in no way comparable) to make babies and be a house wife. Shame on you Julia, shame on you.
Roberts stars with Clive Owen in this comedy/crime/thriller about two corporate spies who join together to pull off the ultimate con job on their bosses. All the while maintaining a steamy relationship; this could ultimately destroy the job.
The beginning is a bit slow, and almost makes the viewer want to get up, yell “Seriously, what is going on here”, and leave. However the $13 that you just spent is quite the incentive to stay put. Staying put is good too because once you get past the half hour mark the film is entertaining and funny. The ending, which if you were like me I would reveal it because I hate surprises but you probably wouldn’t appreciate it, is completely unexpected. It is not like one of those romantic comedies where the two will have a fight and realize that despite their differences life isn’t complete without one another.
Positives: entertaining plot, Clive Owen in a towel, comical, unpredictable ending, return of Julia Roberts, and Clive Owen in general.
Negatives: Julia Roberts looking old and disastrous during the first scene (they clean her up, don’t worry), and slow beginning.
It is clear that the positives outweigh the negatives in this film. I won’t go see a movie around here because of how much they charge, but this one was worth it.
