Deception (2008)

Deception: Directed by Marcel Langenegger. With Ewan McGregor, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Bruce Altman. An accountant is introduced to a mysterious sex club known as The List by his lawyer friend. But in this new world, he soon becomes the prime suspect in a woman’s disappearance and a multi-million dollar heist.

“The thing is that the plot takes too many turns, so many that the movie ties itself in knots and must resort to a lot of silliness to develop a finale and get out of the whole mess. The early moments are quite involving, showing the nerd-player friendship taking to something scary. Nevertheless, in spite of the good beginning, I figure the two leads have never the chemistry that would explain why they got drawn to one – another, so moments where the viewer would say u0026quot;OK, everything seems to worku0026quot; are very rare. The story gets then ridiculous in the end due to many plot twist that poop a film otherwise decent. Thereu0026#39;s also a cameo of Charlotte Rampling.”
