Title: Deception is DECEPTIVE
Review: This movie starts out very promisingly and then descends quickly into B-movie territory. Unfortunately, the Producers, who include Hugh Jackman himself forget that all thrillers need good scripts and credible plots to keep going. The plot falls apart quite quickly after a nice 40 minutes, and all suspense goes with it. The premise sounds inviting, but the execution as the reviewer below me says, is lame. By the end, I couldn't fathom why these great actors were dealing with such a poor and implausible script.I realise from Woody Allen's SCOOP (also starring Jackman) that Hugh is really too nice of a guy to play a rogue or anything sinister. Ewan McGregor is in his usual form and it's a shame more couldn't have been done to give this more oomph. Mi-3 starlet Maggie Q makes a fetching cameo in this, but that's about it.Two and a half stars.PPS Amazon really needs to enable half-star ratings like Flixster
