"Deception is not the cool, noirish thriller it tries to be. Despite a cast (...) the film is a yawn. (...) the decadence and intrigue devolve into a preposterous turn of events. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"Mildly titillating, but not very good. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | ||||

"A would-be erotic thriller with no heat and zero chills" | ||||
"From the nondescript title on down, 'Deception' is a movie made to be forgotten." |
