Review of Deceiver

Deceiver (1997)
7/10
Pretty heavy

One thing you'll immediately notice about this crime thriller is its extremely dark look, this movie really makes you appreciate sunlight. All the action happens in this one really unpleasant interrogation room, only some occasional flashbacks make you remember there's a world outside, a world full of pain that is. The claustrophobic atmosphere is the strongest point to this movie, because it makes the psychological insights to our three main characters all the more interesting. Who did it isn't the main issue here, the main issue is how and when the killer will finally be caught. Eventually the eternal darkness gets tiresome, but by then the plot is actually moving someplace so it doesn't really matter. What does matter is the ending though, which I've seen quite a lot of times before, often better written. That is to me the only disappointment to this movie, the predictability of the ending. Other than that it's a nice piece of atmosphere.
