Description: Goldie Hawn delivers a critically acclaimed performance as Adrienne Saunders, someone whose perfect life as a wife, mother, and career woman disintegrates into a confusing world of betrayal and deception. After her husband (John Heard -- HOME ALONE, AWAKENINGS) apparently dies in a mysterious auto accident, Adrienne discovers a series of shocking truths about him -- and chilling evidence of a deadly scheme that threatens her life! From the first startling plot twist to the heart-stopping climax, DECEIVED is a riveting suspense-filled thriller that will entertain you in the spirit of Hitchcock's best!
On edge, but really great movie! This movie is one that really has it all. It has the warm fuzzy cute little family feelings, the on edge what is going to happen, suspense, creepy-ness and also the icky little bit of gore. I think this is a great movie! Plus the little girl is just so adorable!
Do you REALLY know him? This is a great suspense movie, though not for children. Goldie Hawn is excellent in her part as is John Heard. You feel like you are experiencing all the emotions with Goldie, as she awakens to the reality of what her life has (or has not) been.
NICE! Great movie! The work of a master in my book, and I've never even heard of director Damian Harris. The photography was excellent with lots of intriguing and subtle touches. The camera creeps around with the stealth of a snake at times, or like a hawk, sometimes gliding overhead, sometimes swooping in for the kill.
Nice mood-perfect lighting and sets, and my dvd had a crystal clear wide-screen transfer (specifications: widescreen 1.85:1). Besides an optional French language track and French and Spanish subtitles though, there were no bonus features. Unless you count Goldie Hawn's performance. She's usually fun to watch, but I can't remember the last time I saw her shine like this. Usually in comedic roles, she still carries her certain charm in this movie which greatly helps the overall entertainment factor. She was fantastic, though in fact there were great performances all around from the women in this movie (her husband's friend's sister, her husband's mother, even the maid!). A classy, stylish thriller indeed! A lot to admire in this story and the way it was delivered.
Infinite Deception I am surprised I didn't see this sooner. I usually hear about good thrillers, but somehow I missed this one. It is an exceptional thriller about a woman, played by Goldie Hawn, that is "Deceived" by her husband. He is involved in a fatal car accident. The problem is finding out what really happened to him before the accident and who is killing her friends. When she finds out about it and the valuable stolen Egyptian necklace, the twists and turns into all that is hidden may have you flabbergasted, but you should be at least entertained. Fans of movies like "Along Came A Spider", "Cellular", and "Disturbia" should enjoy it. I recommend it for adults.
Underrated and Overlooked Thriller! Goldie is terrific! This was a great film and Goldie was wonderful in her more 'serious' role. This is actually one of my favorite Goldie films alongside Death Becomes Her. If you enjoy thrillers, this one should definitely be in your collection. The performances are top-notch, the writing was up to par and the suspense builds through the entire film. If you loved Fatal Attraction, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle or A Perfect Murder, you will love Deceived!
