Manipulation

Un méchant pompage sur Dérapage et, dans une moindre mesure, sur Destins violés. Ainsi, toute l’intrigue existait déjà et les retournements de situation ne surprennent plus. En plus, le spectateur a vite la puce à l’oreille parce que tout est évident, transparent, facile. Dommage qu’Ewan et Hugh se rencontrent dans un thriller aussi minable ! Tout ce qui me restera de ce film est la réplique marrante sur les préliminaires. (29/10/2009)

The idea of an anonymous list is great, the atmosphere of a metropolis at night with tall buildings without curtains and windows to the ground and intimate music is fantastic, but the true love is completely out of place and the ending is also not entirely convincing. Deception is at least a peculiar thriller that is clichéd in several aspects, with a has been seen a hundred times over, but its visuals and great energy lift it from below average to a decent watchability. The actors, however, have absolutely nothing to do with it, their lackluster performance is best left without comment. (20/11/2008)

Not bad for a debut. A great McGregor and an even better Jackman in a story based on differences between characters and trusting accountants. Thanks to the array of beautiful girls in this, there is lots to watch and who wouldn’t want to know Wyatt’s secret phone number? For Maggie Q, if for nothing else. (03/09/2008)
