Deception
Reviewed By: Lord High Rikonian (10/26/2009 6:15:23 PM)
Rating: 3.00 adamantium lightsabers
Genre: Psychological thriller
Starring: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Wolverine
Plot: Ewan Mcgregor is an accountant quietly wishing he had a more interesting life. Then he befriends a lawyer played by Hugh Jackman who gets him involved with a crazy underground sex club.
The Obi-Wannabe has a few awkward encounters, including one with an old chick. Then he meets the girl that makes him break the rules of the sex club (no names, no business talk, not feeding your sex partners after midnight, no talking about Fight Club, messing with the Zohan, etc).
Of course, this relationship goes disasterously wrong and now McGregor must try to save his new girlfriend and figure out the truth behind Jackman's agenda.
My main complaint about this movie is the plan, which when it is revealed, is somewhat unbelievable. It relies on Ewan falling for this girl, but really there's no way that could have reliably been foreseen. What's to say he wouldn't have followed the rules of the sex club more dilligently? Or that he wouldn't have fallen for some other girl in the sex swinger circuit? Or that he wouldn't have gone nuts and started hacking off hands with his lightsaber? But still, if you can get past this hail mary pass of a plot, the film is fairly entertaining.

Viewing Advice: This movie starts out slow, but gets more interesting about midway through.
Also, you might wanna fast forward past Kenobi banging the old chick. There's not much really relevant plotwise in that bit.
Of course, you might just want to watch that movie where Wolverine and Batman fight each other with magic. It's much better.
