At the Movies – Duplicity

 
I saw Duplicity with a girlfriend and my overall impression was unfortunately largely coloured by her continual pleads of “What the fuck is going ON?” and the vocal kerfuffle of  “This is SHIT!” from the droves of people leaving the cinema with their gargantuan sized popcorns and cokes.
