How does Duplicity fare on the screen of an iPod?

Ive never really been much of a convert to the idea of watching films on very small screens.

Id been tempted with TV episodes in the past, but a feature film?

It just didnt really compute in my head.

Yet having a mooch around the iTunes store, and I couldnt help but feel in the minority.

And thus I had some optimism as Tony GilroysDuplicitymade its way onto my players drive.

Thus, on a long train journey recently, I sat down and put all this to the test.

The film?

My view on it was largely unchanged.

And its a fun caper, too, pairing Clive Owen and Julia Roberts as the pair who dont-trust-each-other-but-will-sleep-with-each-other.

The films problem, though, lies in its central pair.

Its not that he turns in a bad performance, it just feels like he was the wrong choice.
