"intimacy without intricacy"
會計師是沒人想記得的渾蛋。條理分明與對稱性 (orders & symmetry),伊旺我懂你。蜜雪兒這種貨色也可以跟兩大帥哥合作,這事實告訴我們跟對好導演或睡對人有多重要,萊傑都死那麼久還脫不了俗氣,令人(窮)擔心。掉書袋時間:審計人員只能(要)出意見書,沒有在那裡匯款匯到西班牙的。

"Deception" will deceive very few viewers as an all-too-obvious setup leads to a foregone conclusion featuring forgettable characters. When the best thing about a movie is its cinematography and art direction, you know you're in trouble.
Why Hugh Jackman was so excited by Mark Bomback's script to star and produce the film is as big a mystery as why such talents-on-a-roll as Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams joined the cast.
Jackman then introduces him to "The List," mobile phone numbers of similar high-powered workaholics who hook up for hotel sex where bodily fluid but no names are exchanged.
These one-night adventures in "intimacy without intricacy," as one date puts it, have a certain softcore giddiness for viewers, especially when Natasha Henstridge and Charlotte Rampling turn up.

Strip out "Deception's" fleeting nudity and what's left is a throwback to "B" movie days -- a thin thriller, burdened by clunky dialogue and prone to telegraphing its twists. Although the story is steeped in sexuality, commercials director Marcel Langenegger's feature debut doesn't feel particularly steamy,
deriving what little holding power it can generate from producer-star Hugh Jackman's turn as a seductive con man opposite Ewan McGregor's buttoned-up, bespectacled accountant. On the coolness scale, Wolverine vs. Obi-wan Kenobi it isn't, auguring a relatively quick theatrical exit to make way for summer blockbusters. 有趣的角色對應
Langenegger and cinematographer Dante Spinotti opted to shoot part of the action using a new digital-video camera, but that's about the only fresh wrinkle to be found here, and only manages to make the Manhattan trysts look more like a Lancome ad.
"Are you free tonight?" becomes the movie's signature line, a coded phrase for Jonathan's liaisons. Should that offer pertain to seeing "Deception" -- unless the alternative is truly unappealing -- a reasonable response would be, "Nope, I'm busy." 很賤
