Dennis Smirl, Faith Movie Reviewer,

Stars: Julia Roberts, Clive Owen.  Two secret agents fall in love and decide to scam the corporations they are working for so that they can run off to a tropical beach and live happily ever after. In the end they land up getting scammed by those they are working for. It is very hard to follow because they keep going back to a scene that happened ‘x’ number of months earlier to show a lovers quarrel that Clive and Julia have had. It is no wonder they themselves get scammed because it takes them half of the movie to figure out they’re in love, and in the second half continue to accuse each other of lack of trust or something.
Critics rating: 65%
My rating: 50% Roberts carried the movie.
Caution: Many bedroom scenes between the two stars.
