I can't remember the last time I saw him. Troy, maybe? A movie in which no one shone.
I just saw him in Benjamin Button - had the same reaction as Duplicity - deeply bored. Despite Cate Blanchette.
Now if only Cate Blanchette and Clive Owen would do a movie together - that would be a powerhouse. And Pitt and Roberts can do something irrelevant.
Though the truth is - the reason I thought Duplicity might be good is because I saw Roberts and Owens (as well as Portman and Law) in Closer - and that was just terrific, but it was the opposite kind of film, had a lot of depth and the actors had to really give a performance that reached inside, not just play edge and surface and glide.
