Movie Info

Christian Slater stars in this thriller as successful self-help author Wes Wilson, whose happiness is shattered when his fiancee, Samantha (Sarah Ann Schultz), is killed in a seemingly random attack. Wes's world is turned further upside down after he uncovers Samantha's secret double life, which involved stealing a cache of diamonds from ruthless jewel smuggler Isaac (Cuba Gooding Jr.) -- who now wants his loot back, and is willing to do anything to get it. ~ Sandra Bencic, Rovi

shambolic and poorly made

[Director Takacs] plows cluelessly through the many implausible plot twists, and he directs poor Slater to act hysterically throughout.

Audience Reviews for Lies & Illusions

One of the worst movies I've seen in a while! Horrible in almost every way. It's unfortunate that Christian Slater and Cuba Gooding Jr. are connected to this. They're both actors that I like, but this is total garbage.

Got more then I expected from this one, one fault was Cuba Gooding Jr doesn't play that good of a bad tough guy role. Christian Slater plays an excellent role as the push over believe anything boyfriend. And what starts out as a thriller / mystery, often turns into comedy. Slater's first girl friend is supposedly killed and after morning her death for a year he is able to claim the goods she left behind, little does he know she's lead a secret life and has stole a bundle of diamonds from our bad guy Cuba Gooding Jr. If your looking for thrills and suspense go find a different movie, if you want a fun movie the this is your pick, I gave it 4 stars based on Fun Movie. A Rental for sure.
