A film with two hot male actors, Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, plus hosts of sexy women is definitely equals to a racy melodrama-suspense thriller.
In this film of cat-and-mouse game a bored accountant Jonathan (Ewan McGregor) meets a suave corporate lawyer Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman) who compels him to take time off and have some good fun. As the two explore New York’s night life they developed a deep friendly relationship, so deep that a new chapter awaits Jonathan’s life.
When the two ‘accidentally’ swap their mobile phones Wyatt told Jonathan that he could use his mobile phone since he was out of station. On repeatedly hearing all the “Are you free tonight?” tantalising ladies call from Wyatt’s mobile Jonathan is finally drawn into an anonymous sex club. There he falls for a woman named “S” (Michelle Williams), which is against the rule of the club. As “S” disappears mysteriously Jonathan discovers that Wyatt is not what he seems to be. What then follow is a saga of kidnapping, murder and blackmail. For once this is a film which one can safely say that there are too many turns making it difficult to straighten them in the end. Some of them just snapped into silliness.
But in terms of aesthetic value Deception is gorgeous to look at. The camera work, editing and sound are first-class, and so are the actors. Deception is an escapist entertainment. So you can expect a fair amount of sex and some skin. However, remember this is India — you can’t get a decent scene.
Even as the film falls apart in the plot and screenplay it looks fabulous.
