A Real Thrill!

my review 
2009-05-24 - I enjoyed the movie. Was a little disappointed the lack of time that Viggo Mortensen was shown.
What a life 
2008-08-23 - This had to have been a made for TV movie. If you want a good laugh
then watch this. This movie goes in the cheesiest movie section of any DVD collection.Deception
dont waste your money
2008-01-01 - I bought this movie looking at the unbelievable cast Mortensen, McDowell and Neeson. It had an implausible plot and dreadful acting. Felt like these outstanding actors needed to make a quick movie to pay the bills that week.
Screenwriter must be a fan of Lifetime Telivision 
2007-11-01 - DECEPTION really is a mess of a movie. This is the type of film you would watch on the Lifetime Channel on a Saturday afternoon - overwrought drama, rather bad acting, unconvincing (or, in DECEPTION's case, improbable) storylines, and self-conscious, let's make a statement about the ills of society and what we can do to fix them kind of script writing. It's a bad movie.
The story revolves around a surburban wife, after her husband staged his own death, discovering that her husband had a lot of dark secrets in his life involving gambling, baseball cards, and secret bank accounts. The storyline tries to combine two totally different plotlines - the effect of the wife discovering her husband's dark secret, and then what the husband did to get all the money.
The only real redeeming factor is Liam Neeson. Even Viggo Mortenson, ala Aragorn, doesn't do much here. He hangs around looking menancing. Andie MacDowell, famous model, has about as much acting talent as one would expect from the model (ala none), and brings very little to the table on an already weak and improbably storyline.
Apparently, the film was released as RUBY CAIRO internationally, but as DECEPTION in the US. According to a review on Amazon, they cut 20 minutes, including a sex scene. The cut material may or may not add to the film (I haven't seen it). Probably does.
Then again, the material they left in is so subpar why waste another twenty minutes of your life on this trash?
