It doesn’t take much to make the life of a spy look great. The travel, expense account, sense of danger, all that role-playing — it’s catnip for most people, whose greatest investment in daily skullduggery tends to be making their boss believe they’re actually working.

Duplicity opens wide today. You can read the full review at filmcritic.com.
