VIEWS ON FILM review of A Date with Deception

Great beginning but then downhill from there...

Leena Pendharker directs A Date with Deception and wants you to really know how thought out her movie is. With enough flashbacks to make The Usual Suspects look like Romper Room by comparison, &quot;Deception&quot; fashions these flashbacks in regular and quick cuts and almost makes them appear like filler. I mean you could have just settled down and shot the whole darn thing from the beginning. And that&#39;s the problem. A Date with Deception is about a woman who goes to prison for a crime she didn&#39;t commit with said woman trying to get revenge on her ex-husband who put her there. What no first act, no false arrest, and no trial? What no anguish of going to the slammer and getting harassed by fellow inmates while ex-hubby chills in swank abode? What no judge denying parole and throwing down that almighty gavel? Yup, A Date with Deception bypasses the agog. It basically starts with a flash-forward three years later and then time travels back like all get-out (revert to first paragraph). Hey, I&#39;m not saying director Pendharker doesn&#39;t know where to put the camera and can&#39;t set up a scene. It&#39;s just that her film presents a severe lack of suspense. No one really appears like they&#39;re ever in danger, the stock characters make weird decisions, and the set locations are rather nebulous. Same office space, same parking garage, same luxurious digs, different natural setting. What? Really? &quot;Deception&quot; stars Kia Dorsey, Hannah Jane McMurray, and Rib Hillis. The acting overall is pretty middle-of-the-road with only Hillis (as antagonist Elias) providing any kind of trashy spark. Rib Hillis, well no one plays a Lifetime flick slimeball quite like the Rib-meister. It&#39;s in the sneer, the debonair wardrobe, the way he hams it up like all Easter Sunday, and the way he harshly maneuvers the ladies. When he&#39;s off-screen, A Date with Deception is nothing more than a stylish &quot;wheeze&quot;.

This was pretty good except for the end. The story follows a disgraced nurse who went to jail as a fall guy for her criminal doctor husband, who was bilking his patients. Upon her release, the nurse re-enters the same social circle as her ex-husband, much to his chagrin. He promptly tells her that the town is not big enough for both of them. Simultaneously, the doctor ex-husband is being wooed by a marketing firm represented by Chandler (the only name I remember from the movie). The doctor ex-husband immediately makes a move on Chandler. We quickly learn that Chandler and the heroine-the disgraced nurse-are friends who met in prison. They&#39;ve teamed up to bring the bad doctor to justice. I liked the beginning and the twist of Chandler actually being in cahoots with the heroine. The rest of the movie was not so good, especially the end. One of the men should have been shot, not Chandler, who was only doing the heroine a favor. And there were some plot holes, like many of these movies. I mean, when you hear shots fired, you don&#39;t go into the house unarmed; you call 911! The ex-husband, the doctor villain, was excellent. He was handsome, charming, and alluring, and then convincingly psycho when his actions were discovered. I&#39;m giving this one 5 stars because I watched it to the end.

It dragged on too long and the story only barely seemed plausible. What even was this plot? A divorce and she goes down for fraudulent billing? And he&#39;s a murderer on top of it? Way too much happening in this one. There are too many details if you ask me and the flashbacks don&#39;t really help. It seems like when Lifetime doesn&#39;t want a movie to be your basic revenge/obsession/psycho thriller, they add some business aspect and it doesn&#39;t work that often. Mainly bc they don&#39;t flesh that part out. Not to mention, does it really make sense that he would kill the first wife (or girlfriend?) but get this one sent to prison? I also like how, at the end, everyone else is horribly and visibly injured including Elias, but what&#39;s her face never even has so much as a band aid on her. Really gets old watching the lead characters&#39; friends catch the brunt of everything. Her friend could have bled out for what? Jeffrey could have had a head injury for what? For her? How about some shared danger? Additionally the &quot;man bad&quot; tone of this movie was super obvious and cringe. There&#39;s an episode of Walker Texas Ranger where a support group of women help a battered friend take down her abusive husband and it was far more inspiring than this. Since he&#39;s had two villainous turns in about a month, I have to say that Rib&#39;s movie with the two sisters was better than this.

Let me just preface this review by saying that I love Lifetime movies, even when they are &quot;bad&quot;. Sometimes its fun to watch a mini soap opera for a couple of hours. That being said, I have found that the 2023 originals have been very disappointing so far. This particular movie had a very confusing narrative - switching back and forth between recent- past and present - that made it hard to follow the actual story line. In addition, I found the acting to be really flat. The &quot; love interest&quot; story line seemed like it was thrown in as an afterthought as it made absolutely no sense and there was zero chemistry between the two actors.

Just like its name suggests it was a real deception. A complete waste of 1h23 minutes........ The plot was so &#39;lame&#39; and anyone could guess the end before it even gets to the peak of the story. The acting was so flat and boring! The love story could have been depicted better by 5th-grade students who just started their acting journeys!! I was wishing to find a story that is somehow interesting and that would make me hooked till the last minute but surprisingly it was as lame as a kids story with no imagination, no new plot nor even a storyline that can get you confused It was a waste of time and I don&#39;t recommend it at all!!

Yet another Lifetime movie with Rib Hills playing the psycho/antagonist/killer. I seriously don&#39;t know what&#39;s up with him. It is becoming tiresome watching him in the same repetitive formula. The story was mediocre at best. It wasn&#39;t very strong, but still watchable. It&#39;s about a nurse who went to prison thanks to her doctor con artist husband (Hills). Now that she is free, with the help of a former inmate (Chandler) she befriended in prison, she is out to clear her name. Chandler also was set up by an employer because she refused to do him special favours. Then we have the mystery slick guy enter the scene, happening to be in the room opposite Diana in the hotel. Super duper quickly, after one brief encounter which of course was set up by slick Jeffrey, she goes out for drinks with him and when they return she dives into bed with him. Now this follows a similar pattern with other Lifetime movies, the heroine jumps into the sack with someone she hardly knows etc etc etc. So this Jeffrey is a PI hired by the father of a missing woman presumably psyho Rib&#39;s wife or girlfriend to find out what happened to his client&#39;s daughter. When his true identity is uncovered by Diane causally he says he ruled her out as a suspect because at the time of disappearance Diane was in prison. Anyway this is the basics of the plot. Like I said it was mediocre and nothing to brag about. Just a movie to watch when you&#39;re bored and no matter how hard you try you can&#39;t find anything better to do.
