No deception here, this was just double dumb, 10 July 2002

Bad acting, pathetic script, utterly stupid tale from start to end.
Watching
James Russo I couldn't help wondering if he studied every James Caan film
ever made or if he just happened to have all Caan's mannerisms: the thrown
back shoulders, the cocky walk, the facial expressions; all were there. His
character is in a warm climate with everybody in summer wear and he is
never
without a heavy leather jacket. How painfully pretentious. This boring
murder mystery, which isn't worth the effort of explaining, was so dull I
didn't know whether to laugh or go blind. After the first 3 minutes I saw
where this junk was headed as Russo stared down a gun wielding punk, told
him he wasn't going to shoot, then snatched the piece out of the thug's
hand. Later he grabbed the same weapon from a woman's hand by the muzzle
while it was cocked. Hello, moron? Russo's cornball toughguy antics were
silly beyond description, not to mention far from the real world of private
investigation. Awful.

the main character in this little story is very likeable , but the story
itself is in need of some focused action . too many subplots make for a
very
thin main plot . alice krige is hot as always and can act circles around
her
cast , however she doesn't get enough screen time and the twist at the end
gets WAY too confusing . DOUBLE DECEPTION is standard t.v. movie fare and
never comes close to rising above this. watch only if no other viable
choices exists.
