Leave your thoughts about Deception.
| Detroit NewsTom LongDeception is one of those films that leave you feeling vaguely dirty and wholly unsatisfied, a distasteful and wholly unbelievable mix of soft porn and obvious duplicity that holds not one ounce of emotional truth. |
| Hollywood.comPete HammondThe kind of edge-of-your-seat sexual thriller that grabs you and doesn't let go. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallThe director, Swiss-born Marcel Langenegger, has the knack of being able to distract you from the plot's excesses. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghJackman and McGregor are a delight to watch. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerThe all-too-obvious script weaknesses didn't spoil my fascination with the premise and where it took us. It also afforded me a whole new look at Williams. |
| L.A. WeeklySam SweetThis vision of Gotham is as fastidious as the cockpit of a BMW. But rather than sell luxury sedans, Deception offers a fantasy even big money can't buy -- Wall Street as a cross between a James Bond adventure and a Victoria’s Secret spread. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoYou'd think that with all the focus groups and test marketing Hollywood does that somewhere along the line someone would have said, "hey, don't you think this one strains credibility a bit too much?" |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsDetective Russo is bored with the story John tells her as soon as she hears it. And so, you feel instantly aligned with her, again, long steps ahead of all the shenanigans. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe plot comes together in Madrid in a whirl of multimillion-dollar swindles and gunplay, and for all its contrived surprises, it has the feel of a well-designed mousetrap snapping shut. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekPredictable double-cross piles on predictable double-cross, leading to a conclusion so shocking, you could have knocked me over with a wrecking ball. |
