DECEPTION - Thriller/Drama/Romance (2008) ***REVIEW***

Deception is the story of an accountant who is introduced into a high class, secret sex club by his new 'cool' friend. However, with his new 'hobby' of going around and meeting up with women for 'services' he becomes a suspect in a murder case and gets involved in a multi-million dollar raid.

Before writing this i went and searched for reviews relating to Deception and to my surprise most of them turned out to be bad, most said the acting was bad, it was full of plot holes, slow and predictable and not nearly enough thrilling for a thriller. I however found this to be a great movie, sure it had small parts where it went a bit slow, most movies have this and is used to build character and develop relationships with the characters in the story which i thought it did excellently. It was thrilling enough for me, but not too much so that it couldn't involve other aspects of romance and drama and dare say it, comedy, like a fine meal it had balance in the key elements of the dish, much the same as this film had balance in its key aspects.


This movie did go from great to awesomeness! I never got bored throughout, and some parts were darn creepy thanks to fine acting from Hugh Jackman (X-Men etc) and Ewen McGregor (Star Wars etc), there was plenty of mystery and thrill with a sweet twist at the end (don't worry i wont ruin it :P), overall it was an awesome film, definitely go see it! Sorry for the long description, but this movie deserves it! :P


Pros - Awesome acting from Hugh Jackman and although hes not in for allot of the middle the parts where he is he excels perfectly. Thrilling, intense, romantic, oh and plenty of fan-service for those interested in the nudity and sex parts of this film (which were pretty cool) :P Great from start to finish, good character development and some sweet twists throughout!


Cons - Not much i could think of, fans of Hugh might be slightly disappointed as he leaves the film for most of the middle part, but this is crucial for the story, the other parts however he rocks! A few predictable moments, but not so much that it doesn't make you think, a nice easy movie to watch with plenty of thrills and intense story that will get you immersed into the film! Go and see this the first chance you get, you wont be disappointed!


4/5 Jandals = 99% guaranteed viewing pleasure!
