Deception, with Star Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, is sold as an “erotic thriller”. Cinemagoer whole experience knows that this sentence, promises two things, says the rule a film that is not possible to provide. Studio of U.S. films, what about sex or tiptoe effect pedal on these shoes with a clown, and the modern thriller is often based on activities that are not and can never, exciting - electronic funds transfers, the letter mouse click. Deception, created by Marcel Lanegger a screenplay by Mark Bomback, starts as Ewan McGregor, only the audience Jonathan McQuarry work until late into the night in a large conference room, large windows overlooking the lights of the city. Shut, wall there, Bruch, Jonathan is worse than poor, he is invisible. But then, Hugh Jackman of the Saracens, soft. Wyatt Bose waltz, made some small talk, which sparks a spouse. That is not what Jonathan is used. Again, it is hate what he used.
Jonathan Wyatt and quickly friends, but Jackman’s Wolf-smile, as it is clear that the alpha dog in the friendship. But an accident exchange of mobile phones, Jonathan Wyatt and have, through the lines - and life - and Jonathan gets a call from more and more puzzling, different voices of women, all say the same thing: “Are you free tonight?” Once said er, yes, and stumbles into a strange new social circle - The list, where the men and women are anonymous and short, as a woman, explains Jonathan, “private life without complexity.” And, for some time, Jonathan - lonely, Uptight, Jonathan - because it works. The rooms, frenetic coupling device, the joys contact without the pressure of the connection. Wyatt not take the spirit of Jonathan Wyatt advantage of membership in an exclusive group, have fun, go. A short time later, Jonathan meets someone on the list, a woman he does not know of his original ‘S’ (Michelle Williams), a fact to him the feeling that something more thirsty, and you have the feeling that the rules broken.
And then the tricks and detours are open, but it is not so, we are through the terra incognita, instead we are back on a road, we traveled many times before, with the people at the helm. It is a time of violence surprised that there is a revelation, there is a demand that if met, May prevent things even worse. And Bomback - which has also Live Free or Die Hard-luck case - does not change with sufficient grounds to send us really committed, none of these elements.
For some time, you can down on the silver of Deception, photographed by Dante Spinotti (Heat, The Insider), Deception at least seems high. Shooting on the film, the scenes of the day and with digital cameras, the night scenes, the brutal Spinotti Fang, Fuzzy and press the rush of modern urban life, as Jonathan Wyatt and the clubs, cruise, or race in Jonathan the streets are trying to understand what happens in it. But the beauty, as we know is that the skin deep, and the deception by the zigs and zags his plot as a figure skating field by the obligation of exercise - not without skill, and not without energy, but completely without any Sparks of creativity and individuality.
The actors are all better that this material, and some scenes, with a shock; Jonathan McGregor actually about the loneliness and the car-doubt, and if the list itself will take place in him, he did it to a child, as in a business with sweets, but where The Candy in expensive clothes. Jackman is to show that a beautiful snarl Wyatt is simply a smile for the interruption of the teeth. And Williams, in a scene, while his truculente and sensual, is a combination of heat with real warmth. In fact, the casting is so good that I wonder what would have been Deception as if they are not in the transformation into a story with a - if they would simply explore the complexity of the operations areas and the desire and Discretion in modern times when they would have on how all these people want to live, instead of what some of these people wanted to steal.
And there are some moments of deception, a small glimmer of an erotic to them, but they are quickly about the past, so we are going to lie, and the theft and the successes and hunting. And so we get the scenes full of stereotypes modern thriller - a foreign bank in the slow development of the animation of the progress bar during an international transfer of funds. The people uncomfortable reflection on sexuality in the form of desire and the need, but not unpleasant is a reflection on the money in the form of plug and fly. Sex, in American films, is back to integrate is blue illuminated Hollywood-près-shot or against the sad that the modern industrial production is the pornography. And there are some exceptions, on both sides of the spectrum, but especially a Hollywood movie can not erotic, there must be an erotic thriller. And how many other erotic thriller Current - Derailed, Perfect Stranger, Basic Instinct 2, Taking Lives - Deception is full of stars and craft skills, but so much fear of sexuality in fact, that we are rather mild fragrance illuminated ad - pictures, and is convinced that the error film fans will not be able, based on a story are lazy, their glasses subdued by some flashes of the skin. Erotic stories are on the needs and pressures; thriller stories are up to him and to kill. And you can have very different things in a single film - Vertigo is the best demonstration possible, but there are others - but not near Deception of this level of quality, Deception, interpreters and super glossy visual ascent is a little bit about the also loves the latest films, it is not but praise Deception, as it is remarkable that our expectations have been revised.
