  reviews???

  by Qualitynotquantity

  What on earth is the point of having 2000 reviews made up of can't wait don't care etc. I am guilty in that this is not a review of the movie but I am at least making a valid point. I am finding I have to scroll a dozen pages to get two or three sensible reviews. Come on fandango, or whoever makes the decisions, scrap this nonsense and let us read valid opinions.

  Very angry.

  by the_chris

  This movie was completely predictable straight from the begining. At first I thought it was meant to be that way, and then at some point they were going to suprise us with some massive twist, yeah............................that never happened. And the ending, what the hell was that?? I'm supposed to believe that an accountant who has never had contact with the criminal element once in his entire life (except for smoking pot when he was a kid) but apparently now has the resources to obtain a perfect fake passport and become quite the criminal mastermind now himself. I good go on banging this film up all night, but the bottom line is just don't go and see it.

  I really feel deceived

  by aszmidt

  Possibly the worst movie I have seen in years. I pretty much new the bulk of the plot within 15 minutes. Apparently I missed the memo, my wife and I were the only two people in the theater. This was on opening weekend Friday night at 8PM. Don't walk, run away from this flick.

  Deception

  by MONE464

  The movie was somewhat slow in the beginning but it picked up later in the movie. They could of added a little more substance to the movie. It had a pretty predictable ending. I am glad that I saw the movie as a matinee for a special price as opposed the full price. I would give it 2 stars.

  This must be a joke.

  by

  My friend and I agreed, any movie with Ewan MacGregor and Hugh Jackman in it couldn't possibly be all that bad. We were wrong.
  
  The first fifteen minutes or so of this movie are cute, well filmed, and pretty enjoyable. From then on, it was a rapidly declining slope down into pretty much the pits of hell. The last 45 minutes were almost like torture. The script became so cheesy and unoriginal my friend and I were continuously looking over at each other and miming various suicide attempts. Not only is the plot predictable, the unpleasant sex scenes were gratuitous to a nearly if not absolutely unnecessary extent. And the movie is so into itself!
  
  This was the worst movie I have ever seen. My friend agrees, although it was her second worst as she has seen I Know Who Killed Me. If you want to see a quality movie, don't see this. HOWEVER, if you're in the mood for a movie you can make fun of, definitely see this one with a friend.
  
  Ewan and Hugh must have done this movie as a joke...

  So predictable, I thought they were joking.

  by bekind2animals

  This movie is so cliched and so predictable, I honestly thought....no, hoped....that there was actually a REAL surprise in store and that they were just making it LOOK predictable to throw we viewers off. But no, it really IS that bad.
  
  I love Hugh Jackman, but sadly, even he couldn't save this movie.

  Deception

  by sdevon03

  I thought the movie was a bit of a contrived script... strung together by racy sex scense... with no real substance... The actors were faily good... And the acting is the ONLY reason I give it as good as a so-so raiting...

  Just out of curiosity...

  by Mystweaver

  Why do people write reviews or give ratings for movies they haven't even seen yet?
  Who exactly "cares" if you are looking forward to it or not?
  I don't know your credentials... why should your opinion matter to me?
  I'm looking for "reviews"... not what amounts to website spam!
  Even if actual reviews were there, you can't find them without having to slog through page after page of comments by individuals with no life; commenting on stuff they have no knowledge of.
  
  This site even makes me assign a rating to something I haven't seen yet!

  Fun and a little different

  by bchena1313

  I found this movie to be pretty good indeed. I was surprised by the reviews that I read, but overall I think Jackman plays a great role. One thing I didn't like and if you as much as a movie fanatic as I am, then you most likely noticed that this is several movies in one. I noticed a few other movies that have been similar to this, but the fact is that the sharp and twisted tales of love, lust, and deception are great. Movies like this keep my attention and I think that the twisted minds that the characters portray are very entertaining. Overall, it is worth renting!

  Mindless Movie...

  by tracer243

  I was hoping to see a psy. thriller, but all I got was a plot you could find holes in and naked people running around where there was no point to it but to show someone naked! Give me a break Hollywood, if I want to see that many naked people I will rent a porno... not that I would ever do that, but you get my point. To bad this movie is a flop.

  Deception: 4 out of 5 stars

  by SonnenBlumen

  I thought this movie had great suspense, action, and drama. I only wished they would not have kept Ewan McGregor's and Michelle Williams' characters so shallow. I think they should have developed them more so we could relate to them. As it is, when I left, I kept thinking, "Who was that photo of that he had in his apartment? What does 'S' stand for?"
  
  I enjoyed seeing these two characters fall in love, especially when her past makes her no Snow White, yet Ewan's character accepts her just as she is. I think most of us could relate to that!
  
  Kudos for Hugh Jackman on his duplicity in acting AND producing! He's the reason why I wanted to go. He made a great villian - I loved to hate him!
  
  I am relieved I did not listen to the scathing reviews that came out when it was first released. It was a nice removal from reality, and after all, isn't that why we go?
