Deception is an entertaining film, almost noir in sensibility, but with an elegance and flash of modern wealth, power and privilege.

Although Deception has all the elements of a good thriller, they just don't congeal, and we never feel more about it than we would a slick music video.
Like the sex scenes in Deception , the film itself is cold and remote, and as viewers, we merely go through the motions watching this genre piece, waiting for yet another tired move, until the whole thing is done with.
