Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) and Clive Owen (Children of Men) team up in this movie of Corporate Espionage. Using their skills learned in the CIA and MI6 Roberts and Owen go deep underground to infiltrate a corporation that is trying to discover the secret of a product being developed by a competitor. Good points are: Roberts and Owen work well together and the film has a lot of intrigue and espionage in it. Drawbacks are: The movie is too long, they could have done this one in 90 minutes but it is dragged out to over two hours (2:04) and there is a lot of repetition, going back into the past five years to rediscover how Roberts and Owen got into the situation they are in. Overall it is a good movie although it is a bit long.
I did not like it. It was disorienting, but it had a good ending. It was tedious watching it, though maybe I was just not in the right space for it. I gave it away and hope the next person enjoys it. It arrived in good condition and speedily.

a slick, Soderberghian comic caper in which it’s never exactly clear who is being conned. It’s easy to see that ex-CIA agent Claire Stenwick (Julia Roberts) and former MI6 member Ray Koval (Clive Owen) have a heated history together when they embark on an elaborate mission of corporate espionage. Two rival CEOs (played by the always fantastic Tom Wilkinson and Paul Giamatti) are battling for the top spot in their industry, and a top-secret new product would determine who would wear the crown. But this isn’t just about business innovation and profit: Claire and Ray have a plan that would help them get the prized formula and walk away with millions.
Good movie great plot acting was great they got it but confusing but great ending :-)

There are few movies from Hollywood that can give the audience the dialogue which is reminiscence from a by gone era. How refreshing to hear the banter. Then laugh along and try to figure out where they are, what they are doing at the moment and also root for them as a couple. The screen chemistry seemed genuine. The love scenes were tastefully done. I am hoping for a sequel but where does Tony Gilroy go from here? I would highly recommend this movie. Have fun and try to put the pieces together before the end of the movie. My husband enjoyed this movie immensely and he is very hard to please.
