Duplicity, short film review.

The film was a decent enough film, not too predictable, but mainly held together by the great cast. There was a particular part in the film that Mark Kermode had commented on which made me laugh when I saw it. Several scenes in the film were set in different cities around the world, and the way they presented each location was to show some footage of the place, followed by the name of the city. Also, each place was where something had happened in the past; so the sequence would be – footage, name, how long ago. The thing that Mark pointed out was after about 15-20 seconds of footage showing black cabs, red double decker buses, Big Ben, etc… ‘London’ came up, followed shortly by ‘3 months ago’! All the other places could have been anywhere in the area of the world they were, but London was BLOODY OBVIOUS. In my opinion the ‘3 months ago’ should have appeared at the exact moment ‘London’ appeared.
