Just finished Deception http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800240/
OK first off, and pay attention now because this is important, Michelle Williams if fuckin hawt!
All right now that we have that out of the way...it was pretty good. Its strongest point was easily the lighting, cinematography and over all style inwhich it was shot. They made a great choice in using digital to film the numerous night scenes throughout New York, everything was crisp and vibrant and the whole movie was just pretty to watch. New Yorkers, you city was done proud.
Great casting in the three lead roles, everybody was convincing and Williams was especially charming. I know Hugh Jackman has a lot of detracors but hes been rock solid in every thing since The Fountain and this was another good one for him.
The weakest point had to be the script. Not for the dialogue or placement and interaction of the characters in realation to one another or the story but for elements of the story itself. The plot just had some holes in it that are some what bothersome while looking back on it. At times it lacked a real thought out feeling of plausibility and there were just alot of little things that were let slide so that the story could progress down a certain path. Fortunately the story was interesting enough and the movie so well crafted that I didn't really think about the plot weaknesses until afterwards.
If you care as much about the look, feel, sound, mood, acting and setting of the movie as you do the storyline, I highly recommend. You've seen elements of this storyline before and you might see the ending coming but you haven't seen it executed in this manner.
