- Esteemed art auctioneer Virgil Oldman, renowned for his appraisal skills and the ability to spot forgeries, routinely scams the auction world out of the masterpieces he deliberately undervalues with the help of an old friend. When the dishonest critique with an acid tongue is hired by Claire, a beautiful young heiress, to valuate the contents of the creepy mansion left to her by her parents, the two strike up an unlikely friendship.

A highly improbable load of old rubbish. - Deception review by DW
I had to feel sorry for Geoffrey Rush, trying his best with a daft plot & script in company with over-the-hill veteran actors or youngsters straight off the Drama School production line.
Steer clear, would be my advice or watch "The King's Speech" again to see Geoffrey Rush lifting a good film into a brilliant one.

stunning - Deception review by JM
This is one of the best films ive seen in years Geoffrey Rush at his best i would say to anyone that is willing to listen, this is the best drama/ thriller you would not be wasting your time watching this, you must see it, as an ex cinema projectionist all my life which means ive seen almost every film issued since 1962 this one to watch

Whacky - Deception review by MM
Too whacky - an absurdity too far for our taste. Having said that, we did endure watching to the end, so two stars instead of one.
