Wolverine vs Obi-Wan! =P
To start off in a very general way, I’d have to say that Deception was a good movie with good plot twists and amazing actors. Only complain I have is that Hugh Jackman probably needed to tweak his bad guy image just a little bit more. But hey, turns out he was one of the producers of this movie. Vanity project, anyone?
Same old thriller with same old plot drivers – refusal to do the logical thing and call the cops. Essential in these movies, trust me. Anyways, if you do go watch this in your nearest cinema, prepared to be disappointed. The Malaysian censors have as usual, wielded the almighty cutting scissors with the intelligence of a Down syndrome child and the finesse of a 3 year old with a chainsaw.
The first 45 minutes of the movie is quite easy-going. Simple mix-up turns into a blessing in disguise. After that, the movie delves into a whole new world. Since I had just gone and watched this movie without any expectations whatsoever, I would say that they executed this part pretty well. It started off with the innocence of a nerdy dude turned upside down when he discovers the hidden treasures of the world. Next it delves into a Harrison Ford/Jodie Foster-esque thriller and then in the end into a pseudo- Ocean’s 11/12/13 movie for about 20 minutes and then ends with a typical romantic film ending.
Ol’ Spiky’s Rating – 3.5 Decent movie, decent acting, sucky censoring
It’s one of those post-summer movies. Watch it if you feel like the story’s worth it but don’t sweat it. Peace out y’all!
P.S: Urgh, just got screwed over by the Indahvilla management. They came over and complained about the out-the-balcony trash throwing and my mum got the brunt of it since she was around. And then later I got the brunt of it, along with the edges of a kitchen knife and bludgeoning that only a mace could deliver from her. Seriously, being dumb and lazy doesn’t pay. Gah.
