Sunbeam and Bashful Boy. Deception is directed by Marcel Langenegger and written by Mark Bomback. It stars Ewen McGregor, Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams. Music is by Ramin Djawadi and cinematography by Dante Spinotti. Jonathan McQuarry (McGregor) is a timid New York accountant who whilst working late one night meets Wyatt Bose (Jackman). Bose is the complete opposite to McQuarry, he's highly sexed, confident and supremely cool. So when a mix up with the pair's mobile phones introduces McQuarry to an exclusive sex group, he's spun into a world completely alien to him. If you have watched a lot of film noir, both classic era and neo, Deception will come off as irritatingly stale. What we have here is very much a case of the title revealing far too much! You would hope that with the makers going for broke with such a title then they would have the nous to fill out the story wit…
Seen this one twice now (last time was probably when it was released on DVD) but decided to give it another shot as I don't recall being all that enamored with it. This time, I did like it a bit more but still not a great thriller, but made watchable with Hugh Jackman in a villain role. Ewan McGregor was alright as was Michelle Williams, though neither were great. Still, worth a rental. **3.25/5**
