Deception

Daisy Bates, Ewan McGregor, Frank Girardeau, Hugh Jackman, Lynn Cohen

"Are you free tonight?" A simple enough question, but how Jonathan McQuarry answers it will change his life forever. A corporate auditor adrift in a sea of New York's power elite, Jonathan's work is ...( read more  read more... )his entire life. But, a chance meeting with Wyatt Bose, a charismatic corporate lawyer, introduces Jonathan to a decadent playground for Manhattan's executive upper crust. For these power brokers, whose 18-hour workdays leave no time for a personal life, there's "The List"--a sex club, of sorts, where the right cell-phone number and four simple words ("Are you free tonight?") can lead to an evening's sexual fulfillment. It's a world of "intimacy without intricacy," as Jonathan's first conquest (or vice versa) explains to him, and through The List Jonathan discovers a side of himself that he didn't know existed. But an affair with a ravishing and mysterious stranger known to Jonathan only by her first initial 'S', will expose him to yet another world he never imagined--one of betrayal, treachery and murder.

    I've seen this movie 100 times before but with different titles.

    Pretty decent. If it hadn't been for Hugh and Ewan, though, I wouldn't have watched it.


    *SORT OF SPOILERISH*
    I kind of preferred the alternative ending, though I guess the one they went with was in some ways more logical.

    An very good cast, a good idea but a poor-ish execution only make this an ok thriller. I had high hopes for a lot more but the title alone really gives any idea of a twist away right from the start which was annoying. Hugh Jackman was very good in his role I thought and there are...( read more) some sexy appearances from Natasha Henstridge (Species, Ghost of Mars) and Maggie Q (Die Hard 4). However it is all too straight forward to work out if you have seen any decent thriller before. Ok for a look but nothing special, you might prefer Derailed instead.

    Another example of when genre-fication (the forcing of otherwise intriguing stories into the straitjackets of horror, thriller or other genres) reduces our entertainment to head-shaking banality. A thin thriller, burdened by clunky dialogue and prone to telegraphing its twists. I...( read more) was able to use my amazing powers of observation to deduce that McGregor's character was being set up. How, you ask? By taking note of the fact that the name of the film is Deception. For fuck's sake.

    "Are you free tonight?"


    When meek accountant Jonathan (Ewan McGregor) meets slick attorney Wyatt (Hugh Jackman), he's immediately smitten with Wyatt's style, wit, and sophistication. The two quickly become friends, with Wyatt introducing Jonathan to the world of an anonymous...( read more) sex club and assorted debauchery. In this haze of pleasure, Jonathan meets the mysterious S (Michelle Williams) and immediately becomes consumed with her every move. Overwhelmed and now trapped in a net of suspicion from the local police once dead bodies start piling up, Jonathan must fight for his life when Wyatt turns out to be far more dangerous than he ever expected. Jackman shows a nice layer of subtle danger that should be explored in a better film. However, disappointingly McGregor slips in and out of a New York accent and Williams needed far more character development for us to care about her on anything other than a surface level. Langenegger keeps things relatively simple instead of resorting to lots of fast cutting and fancy camera angles. Deception offers a fantasy even big money can't buy. Deception is the kind old-school thriller that's become all-too-rare within contemporary multiplexes.

    Movie becomes very uninteresting once you realize that there is not a cabal of high-powered sexaholic finance titans that don't want their cohorts falling in love and quitting the game. Then you have Ewan doing a Woody Allen impression and Hugh trying to act evil, rapey, and not ...( read more)British.
