Meurtre à double face

"Absolute Deception" is an Action - Thriller movie in which we watch a woman, who becomes entangled in a dangerous conspiracy involving a criminal mastermind and a covert government operation.

I have to admit that I didn't expect this movie to be below average or even bad. Unfortunately, the movie failed to deliver on its potential especially because its low-budget. The story-line was predictable and lacked the necessary tension to keep the audience engaged. Even the action scenes, which should have been a highlight, were poorly executed and lacked the excitement needed to make them memorable. The interpretation of Cuba Gooding Jr. Who played FBI Agent John Nelson felt uninspired and his portrayal lacked depth. Lastly, I have to say that "Absolute Deception" is a poor movie that failed to both captivate and deliver any real excitement so, I don't recommend it to anyone because it's a waste of time.

Emmanuell V. is one very good looking actress. And I guess Cuba Gooding Jr. is not bad on the eyes either. The latter also being an Oscar winning actor. But both being not really on any kind of game that would deserve to be really seen, acting wise that is. And the story is not giving us much either.

Still this movie does check all the right points and the story flows along nicely. It's cliché and you know where this is going to (the title not helping with any twists, if you could call them that). There is some decent action scenes, especially considering the budget this had. Some dialog is not bad either, especially when Emmanuell is chatting with Cuba, but overall not something you have to watch

This movie starred a couple of pretty faces that knew nothing about playing simple make-believe (acting). The acting was so bad that one could have transported the actors on the stage of SNL and you would have thought they were performing a parody. They exaggerated the seriousness of their characters to the point that they could have been with Leslie Nielson on board the movie "Airplane". Cuba acted on the script that was given to him, and it left him looking like an amateur. This was so bad on so many levels. I guess they had to push it in the market places (trusting enough people would watch it) to pay off the cost of making it. The director should have directed himself right out of doing any more movies, and the actresses...well don't quit your day job.

Thought a 1 was a bit harsh, it's a watchable film, with a mystery to it.

There were 16 reviews for this film and I read them all. They all have valid points, and I thought the 4.2 rating was fair as well.

The opening credits immediately told me that this was a film with a limited budget, although I hoped for better with one famous actor starring.

I soon got engrossed with the film and lost my low-budget reservations. There were a few little continuity issues. But overall, not too bad.
