Fraud protection
"Duplicity" invites moviegoers into the world of corporate con artists without risking anything more than the price of a ticket. In the movie, opening March 20, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as a pair of romantically entwined spies attempting to milk the fortunes of two major corporations. But before you see these two scammers at work, we're revisiting ten previous masters of the big-screen con and rating each on a 1-to-10 scale—1 being the most transparent pretender, 10 being a supremely slick manipulator. Oh and, in case you care, spoiler alert! Sorry, but some of these films just can't be discussed without giving their cons away. —Brett Buckalew, Special to Metromix
