Duplicity was a very entertaining movie and I'm glad I saw it in a theatre. They did a good job of tying all the times and places together well to make everything line up perfectly, without it being one of those annoying situations where you just don't buy that the same people could possibly keep meeting up, etc.
The ending (which I won't give away) was perfectly executed and I enjoyed the movie until the end. It was predictable at times, but for the most part it kept the plot jumping around enough to keep you guessing about which characters were loyal to whom.
If you didn't see Duplicity yet, I definitely recommend it. It's a great cast and a very well done story with some nice location shots.

World War II dramas have always interested me and Valkyrie is very well done. I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but he did a very good job in this movie. The rest of the cast is also wonderful. In spite of all the information available and the many documentaries, I didn't know much about this particular plot to stop Hitler, so I found Valkyrie very informative and entertaining. I definitely recommend renting this movie if you don't catch it in a theatre.
