CIA officer Claire Stenwick (Roberts) and MI6 agent Ray Koval (Owen) have left the world of government intelligence to cash in on the highly profitable cold war raging between two rival multinational corporations. Their mission? Secure the formula for a product that will bring a fortune to the company that patents it first.For their employers—industry titan Howard Tully (Tom Wilkinson) and buccaneer CEO Dick Garsik (Paul Giamatti)— nothing is out of bounds. But as the stakes rise, the mystery deepens and the tactics get dirtier, the trickiest secret for Claire and Ray is their growing attraction. And as they each try to stay one double-cross ahead, two career loners find their schemes endangered by the only thing they can't cheat their way out of: love.This was a decent movie simply because of the awesome chemistry between Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Honestly, if it wasn't for that - this movie would be total garbage. Paul Giamatti was also great as always. The problem with the movie was that they tried to be too clever. The story jumped back and forth and side to side way too much for its own good. They didn't need to try to do this in order to make the movie "smarter". They would have been better off just telling it straight up. It took away from the movie so much and if it wasn't for Owen and Roberts together would have destroyed it fully.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone rushing to see this movie. Its not that the movie is horrible. It just could have been so much better and ends up being disappointing.
