Review of Deceiver (1997) by Jim M — 11 Feb 2008
Murder mystery about two cops (Michael Rooker and Chris Penn) interrogating a local rich boy (Tim Roth) about the murder of a call girl (Renee Zellweger) only have the tables turned. Good mystery, however everything in this movie takes a back seat to the acting.
Rooker and Penn good play there roles in there sleep (Rooker giving another mean performance). Tim Roth is one of the better actors out there today and is particularly good at acting like he knows more then he's telling.
Great supporting performances from Michael Parks as a pyschatrist the cops consalt on Roths state of mind and Zellweger plays the doomed call girl perfectly infusing her character with an element of tragedy.
If you enjoy watching actors work this is defenitly the movie for you.
