Title: The shadows of deception....
Review: "Deception" (2008) is directed by Marcel Langenegger. The film is about an naive accountant, Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor), who finds himself immersed in the mysterious adult world of a sex club. This in turn leads him into a con game of which he was unprepared for. The film is a sultry, smoky, film noir that seduces the viewer just like Jonathan is seduced. Beautifully dark views and seamless direction lead us through a maze of encounters that reveal a subtle manipulation by Jamie Getz (Hugh Jackman). This movie deserves to be seen on blu-ray given its gorgeous images that come across like a Rembrandt painting with its rich, deep blacks, and chiaroscuro forms that are enveloped in shadows of deception.
