Nov 24, 2012An accountant finds himself enmeshed in a blackmail scheme and a mysterious list of liaisons. This is just your run-of-the-mill, hackneyed thriller. There aren't any surprises, and the few moments of lascivious fun aren't enough to lure anybody except a twelve-year-old who has never seen a boob before. Even the performances by Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams feel phoned in, and Hugh Jackman has never been worse. Overall, there are worse films, but there is nothing that sets this film apart from its peers.Jim H Super Reviewer

Apr 14, 2012Like a Youtube video farce of a thriller, but with highly recognizable faces, this one plays an old game of bait and switch and hopes you'll play along and pretend to be surprised. I doubt you will. Although very stylized looking, ultimately an empty exercise.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Jul 23, 2011You think it's hard to make a bad movie with three really good actors? Watch Deception, some kind of a thriller/drama, and you'll see it is possible! The director Marcel Langenegger with the assistance of the screenplay by Mark Bomback manage to destroy everything stars Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman, and Michelle Williams had to offer. It was watchable, but I did not mind my snacks in between without pausing the film because it was very predictable! If you have nothing better to do and you run out of good movies... yes, put it on your DVD and watch it... or call your retired neighbour and play scrabble? Just a thought!Panta O Super Reviewer

Feb 08, 2011Back in the 70's or 80's, this movie may have had a chance, but I think audiences (including myself) are too jaded by the "shocking twist/ twist ending" storyline, considering virtually every movie employs this tactic now. I appreciate that they drop obvious hints, and don't expect us to be surprised - unfortunately, this results in just sitting around for 40 minutes waiting for the next twist to happen. Good performances, but I can't begin to care about the plot. Lethargic, to be polite, Why isn't this 20 minutes shorter, to be honest.Curt C Super Reviewer
