Review of Deception (2008 Film):

This is your doctor speaking to you, dear film: You are suffering from a (somewhat) acute case of Generic-itis. This means, basically, that if this is a dramatic thriller, which it is, you’ll hear somewhere, over the mountains, M. Night Shyamalan utter his famous phrase: “What a twist!” And, as well, that the script will involve some kind of gimmick to put the characters in, in this case the sort of underground/legal(?) world of sex clubs where people have whole lists of anonymous callers to go and have wild sex in super-pricey hotel rooms without knowing who they are. At the same time the gimmick is working through the plot’s bloodstream, big doses of things like “contrivances” and “Holy s***, are these people kidding me?” theatrics.

Still the beautiful scenery in both New York City and Madid Spain coupled with the sexy and high class women in the movie made up for all the mistakes and inconsistencies in it. Especially the unbelievably ridicules ending that has to rank among the worst and most convoluted in all of motion picture history!
