Review of Deception (2008) by Pedro P — 14 Apr 2009

Another example of when genre-fication (the forcing of otherwise intriguing stories into the straitjackets of horror, thriller or other genres) reduces our entertainment to head-shaking banality. A thin thriller, burdened by clunky dialogue and prone to telegraphing its twists.

I was able to use my amazing powers of observation to deduce that McGregor's character was being set up. How, you ask? By taking note of the fact that the name of the film is Deception. For fuck's sake.
