Deception - Manipulation

On paper this looked like a great idea for a movie : a mysterious sex club, (Fuck Club instead of Fight Club?), two great actors, beautiful women, murder, mystery and lots of money...

But in the end this is just your average movie without much tension, and with a silly ending. It is director Marcel Langenegger's first movie, and that maybe explains why everything looks so steril and feels like 100 other movies. If you watch a good movie in the same style, then check out Body Heat or Sleuth.

Oh by the way, for some strange reason this movie is called "Manipulation" in Belgium :) Maybe they thought that "deception" was too true a title LOL

2 stars out of 5

Quote from Deception/Manipulation:

Jonathan McQuarry: [after having sex with a woman in The List] Can I ask you something? Why do you do this?
Wall Street Belle: For the same reason that men do it - the economics of the arrangement. It's intimacy without intricacy. I work past midnight almost every night.

An accountant is introduced to a mysterious sex club known as The List by his lawyer friend. But in this new world, he soon becomes the prime suspect in a woman's disappearance and a multi-million dollar heist.
