Plots(1)

Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor) feels that life is passing him by. He completes short-term audits for a large firm, but doesn't really feel any connection to his employer and finds it difficult to make friends at his assignments since he's never there for long. Jonathan's circumstances change overnight when charming lawyer Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman) befriends him. In an instant, the shy accountant is playing doubles tennis with his new friend and beautiful women and visiting upscale clubs. Just as mild-mannered Jonathan is getting used to his new lifestyle, Wyatt leaves town on business. When Jonathan finds himself mistakenly in possession of Wyatt's cell phone, he also discovers a whole new world of anonymous sex in elite Manhattan hotels with powerful women known simply as "The List." But soon Jonathan is in over his head: he's the prime suspect when a woman goes missing, and the threat of extortion looms. This tale weaves an intricate web of lies and treachery.

English 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. ()

English 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. ()
