brilliant actors, brilliant editing

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

We watched the entire movie, just knowing it had to get better, but it never improved. From a fragmented story line to poor performances from all the actors this movie never gelled. It seems like they put the first and only take in the can after filming each scene. The Mexican guys slinking around supposedly following the main character was really hokey, their involvement was spotty and unexplained. The justification of their purpose was not developed visually or in the dialog other then we knew they wanted to kill someone. Andie McDowell sometimes had an accent and sometimes not. Wow, what a disappointment and some reviewers said it had great scenery, where? Discounting for the age of the movie, the cinematography was sub-par. The sun was coming over the horizon when they were half way up the pyramid and still in the same spot when they reached the top.

I've seen plenty of terrible movies in my time, but this may be in the top 5 worst of all time.The first 50 minutes of the movie feel like you're running errands with Andie Macdowell, and boring errands at that. The remaining 40 minutes of the US version Deception are only a minor improvement. I kept waiting for the "thriller" aspect of the movie to kick in and it never did.There are several plot holes that never get filled, and the part that was cut from the US version would have most likely made the ending make at least some sense.I wouldn't recommend watching this if you're a die-hard Viggo or Liam fan, they don't exactly have much screen time. However, if you've always wanted to know what it was like to spend 90 minutes with Andie this might be the perfect movie for you.

I saw this movie a couple years ago, after Viggo Mortensen became famous with LotR. Only now have I found it again, and although I missed the beginning of the film, I really liked it!Viggo plays a scheming husband who leaves only baseball cards as a clue; his wife, played by Andie MacDowell, travels the world to find out what just happened to her husband (is he dead or not?), and along the way meets up with a friendly acquaintance (Liam Neeson), together they unravel Viggo's deception.Okay, so it kind of dragged on, but the storyline wasn't too shabby, and the locations were great! Seeing Viggo play a bad-guy is always fun too! From a late teenager's POV, this was a pretty good movie. Not the best out there, but good enough to hold my interest!

Ruby Cairo is a would-be good movie despite the choppy plot and horrible script. Liam Neeson is reason enough to see this movie because his performance is the best out of the whole (mis)cast. Andie McDowell's scenes where she was talking to herself were very unreal and uncharacteristic of any human. The love story between Liam and herself was charming but thrust into the movie suddenly and was not picked up at the right times in the plot. The ending, however was cute, despite no real victory on Andie's part. 1/2 *.
