The first feature by veteran commercial director Marcel Langenegger, it stars Ewan McGregor as Jonathan McQuarry, a mousy freelance tax auditor who's taken under the wing of one Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman), a slick, ultra-confident Manhattan lawyer. We know from jump that Jonathan's new best friend isn't all, or even any, that he seems, and sure enough, when the pair "accidentally" switch cell phones, a series of credibility-defying events destined to turn Jonathan's bleak, lonely life upside down is set in motion. At first, it's all good, as the wide-eyed young CPA finds himself joining "The List," a Wall Street sex club that brings together lawyers, stockbrokers, and other professionals whose lives are too busy for anything more than brief, anonymous assignations at various high-rent hotels (exchanging real names is verboten is this world). But apparently spending nights with the likes of Natasha Henstridge and Charlotte Rampling isn't enough; when he meets the blonde beauty known only as "S" (Michelle Williams), the club's credo of "intimacy without intricacy" goes out the window, lust turns to love, and Jonathan is drawn into a protracted cat-and-mouse game that leads to murder, big-time corporate embezzlement, identity switches, and other nefarious activity. One needn't be Nostradamus to predict where all of this is headed, but that's hardly the point. Even if you don't buy a single moment of it, Deception is fun, flashy, and entertaining--and since when is pure escapism a bad thing? --Sam Graham Beyond Deception on DVD

![]() Rating: - Good MovieThis is a good movie with lots of twist and turns. I'm suprised that no one has reviewed it so far. This movie is very similiar(but a bit better) to a movie that Rob Lowe did a long time ago called Bad Influence. If you remember that movie and liked it, you will enjoy this one as well. |
