A terrible, dull, boring & pointless film that squanders it's incredible cast - Deception review by TB

Spoiler Alert
17/06/2023

Think of the sort of cast you would kill for to star in your film. Actors who had incredible presence, charisma and star power, who can and have delivered masterful performances in the past. Then add into the mix a daring, provocative and actually really potentially intriguing premise. Then finally a decent budget to be able to realise this...

Now throw all those ingredients together in no logical way, squandering that massive potential and making a movie so bland, boring and forgettable it almost deserves some kind of award from the Razzies.

And that in a nutshell is Deception.

I sat through this film waiting for it to start. Waiting for something, anything to happen. Not even Ewan could make this film in any way good. His character, a straight-edged loser who get sucked into a sinister underworld of sex clubs, is a blank cypher. Not even the sex is good or interestingly shot. And Hugh Jackman as the antagonist is just laughable. After seeing the incredible presence he can bring to the screen in films like Prisoners and as Wolverine, here he is about as threatening as a Playdough hammer.

This is such a waste of so many good elements, a black mark on the CV's of all involved. Avoid.

Rental fodder - Deception review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
28/09/2008

With Ewan and Hugh onboard you'd be expecting more from this average thriller, that really lacks of all things thrills!

Ewan performs his accounting duties well enough, having been in the financial sector in previous films. Jackman is a convincing brash lawyer who seems to have everything Ewan's character lacks. So this strange friendship develops in ways you'd never expect.

There is plenty of style onscreen but the characters never develop to any extent. As I originally suggested a thriller without thrills is fundamentally flawed. Deception indeed.
