This movie may be just about the only corporate espionage movie as far back as I could remember which reveals the cloak and daggers behind major multi-national-brands and how far they might have gone in order to outdo one another.
Not only does the film display much wit, humour, charm and romance. It has all those elements in spades. Being surprisingly easy to understand despite the fact that the time-line in the story skips back and forth would be a huge plus.
Although the subject matter may not have been meant to be all that serious. One cannot ignore the fact that it is indeed a very clever movie with an intelligently charming script to match.
If there be an Elizabeth Taylor or Audrey Hepburn of our generation. That title will undoubtedly go to Julia Roberts. The kind of class that she carries with her on-screen is truly unmatched.
It is funny how Clive Owen whom, with his oozing English charms caught his big break as a lead starring next to Julia Roberts a few years ago once again teams up with her. The chemistry between the two is simply incendiary.
If you are not someone who favours big guns and even bigger explosions. This is a movie you will not want to be missing.
