Deception is also known as 'Ruby Cairo'.

 

Bessie is a mother of three,who's husband is always away on business. She receives the news that he died,so she has to go to South America to identify the body.

 

At his office,she looks through his things,and finds baseball cards stashed under the desk. She is able to decode the writings,and goes on trips around the world (Panama,Germany,Egypt and more),to close the bank accounts open in a strange name,which have a lot of money in them.

She thinks her husband saved the money for her and their kids,but,what if it's not so?

 

I honestly found the movie boring,nothing much ever happens. The movie is labeled as mystery and thriller,but I assure you,it's not,it's a drama.

The only thing I liked about the movie was Andie MacDowell's hair, Viggo with the beard,and Egypt.

 

Looking at the poster,it feels the movie was trying to pass for something it's not(maybe to sell better). I don't remember watching any nude scenes..etc..maybe I left the room,but I don't recall doing it.

 

The actors were fine. Liam Neeson appears for 5 minutes in the whole movie. So does Viggo Mortensen.

 

I hated the soundtrack,which fits more a romantic/sexy movie,which this is not.
