2 cops try to solve a murder by using a polygraph
An epileptic man takes a lie detector test to prove he had nothing to do with the death of a stripper. During the test, the private lives of the investigators comes to light due to an investigation by the investigated man. This causes the case to take a strange turn. The film flashed back and forth in time showing the cheap tawdry lives of all involved in the bizarre circumstances. Great story and fascinating dialogue kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. 4 stars.
“The Usual Suspects” it ain’t.
“Deceiver” starts out as a riveting thriller, but bogs down somewhere in the middle and leads to increasingly far-fetched and unbelievable “revelations”. The “mind game” is probably my favorite movie “genre”, but the Pate Brothers need more practice before they can be called virtuoso players. I expected a lot more from this flick. (**1/2)
