Customer Reviews:

Underrated and Overlooked Thriller! Goldie is terrific!.......2007-03-07

This was a great film and Goldie was wonderful in her more 'serious' role. This is actually one of my favorite Goldie films alongside Death Becomes Her. If you enjoy thrillers, this one should definitely be in your collection. The performances are top-notch, the writing was up to par and the suspense builds through the entire film. If you loved Fatal Attraction, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle or A Perfect Murder, you will love Deceived!

Not Anything Special.......2005-10-11

I saw this at Movie Trading Company for $3.99 and on sale for $1.99. So I went on a big limd and bought it. I wasn't that suprised about it, it wasn't that good. Goldie Hawn did a pretty good job. The actor for the husband was a little pradictable. The ending was a suprise, but all in all a pretty good movie.

Is The Movie On The DVD Shown In Widescreen Or is It Pan And Scan?.......2005-10-08

Deceived is a great movie and it ius one of my favorite Goldie Hawn movies. Most of Goldie's movies have been comedies but this is a dramatic mystery and suspense movie and Goldie is very good as a wife who's husband is not who he appears to be and when he apparently dies in a car accident she begins to discover some facts about him that are really shocking. John Heard plays the husband and he is very good and so is Ashley Peldon as their little daughter Mary and she is absolutely adorable!. I had this movie on video tape and when I found out it was on DVD I gave my video tape way because I wanted to buy the DVD but I have held off buying it because Amazon is not giving the information about the aspect ratio on wether it's a widescreen format on the DVD or an edited pan and scan format. I like widescreen fomats on my DVDs and I don't want to buy this DVD and find out it's a stupid edited pan and scan DVD! Can someone please tell me what the aspect ratio of the DVD is? is it Widescreen or pan and scan?

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE.......2005-10-06

This is the best performance of Goldie Hawn, it's really unfortunate she didn't win an award for this movie!

A real gem of a thriller in the Hitchcock style!.......2005-09-18

Goldie turns in a fantastic act! The story is believable! The acting, filming, music.... all equate to one hell of a thriller!
John Heard plays the psycho role very well! An original character here, not typical of other similar films.
The story starts slowly, but picks up speed nicely. Tension mounts and lies begin to be uncovered. The creepiest, skin-crawling scene I have ever seen, is when Goldie is sleeping and someone is trying to make love to her! When she wakes up, the look on her face is truly frightening!
Here is a story line like no other! Must see!

a signal from beyond-an enemy within.......2007-04-05

The plot:
Two people working in an observatory searching for alien life finally pick up a signal! A team is sent to investigate the signal including Shaw, the owner of the project, Jack, the computer geek with a hearing aid due to a hearing problem, a tv reporter, Rev. Fletucher, who believes there is a higher power than God (he really makes no sense throughout the movie), and the director, a beautiful, yung Christian woman (she and Fletucher do not believe the same things). When they listen to the signal, they all start to behave in strange ways, except Jack beacuse of huis hearing problem, and the Christian woman. As the movie goes on, a series of mystries unravels. Does the signal really come from space, or does it come from somewhere else? As the movie goes on, you figure out that the signal is from beyond. The enemy, is within.

Though this film isn't one of the best Christian films when it comes to the truth about Christanity, it does show God;s pwoer over satan. It will call every hristian to reexamine their faith.

strange and interesting.......2007-04-05

I am a loyal Cloud Ten Pictures Fan. Otherwise, I would have never purchased this movie. When I first put it in, I didn't really know what to expect. I really didn't know much about the movie. But, as a loyal CTP fan, I thought it would be, at worst, okay. It turns out this movie is pretty good.

The plot:
Two observers at Shaw observatory, a company looking for aliens, picks up a signal. A group is sent to investigate including;Shaw himself, Revrend Fletucher, who is not a Christian, but believes there is a higher power than god (he doesn't ever make any sense in the movie), a reporter, a technology geek who uses a hearing aid, and the Christian assistant/director. When they listen th the dignal, something happens in their eyes. Then, things start to go haywire as a mystery unravels. Does the signal really come from space, or is it coming from somewhere else? Why is everything going so haywire? Is the enemy within?

Excellent Witnessing Tool.......2007-03-21

This movie is a classic example of the human condition: if you don't stand for anything, you will fall for everything.

A mysterious signal appears and everyone thinks that it is from space. However, not everyone hears the same thing and, everyone reacts to it in a different way.

The Christian answer to "Contact".......2006-12-25

Sci-fi/paranormal thriller based on SETI Home & U.S. military paranormal experimentation -- almost all the action takes place in a privately-owned observatory in the Sierra Nevadas. Compares well with the Hollywood movie, "Contact." Surprisingly, I liked it a lot up until the end ...

Besides the obvious "Contact" comparison, "Deceived" seems to me like a grown-up version of Bill Meyers' "Forbidden Doors" (a series of novels for Christian teens which I LOVE & I wish someone would make movies out of THOSE), but (to me) "Deceived" seems to lose something by the end ...

Can't quite put my finger on it, although I must say that I enjoyed the movie A LOT more than I thought I would. (I THOUGHT it was going to be hopelessly hokey.) I do agree with the basic premise, though -- & that's why I mentioned the "Forbidden Doors" series ...

This is one of the worst films ever........2006-07-10

The acting is disjointed and 2 dimensional, the story is warped and loosely strung together.

It's not good as scifi, and it's terrible as philosophy, as cinematography and acting, it is the worst.

Cricket Anyone?.......2007-03-18

This is a "who done it?" opening with a murder and building throughout as new material is introduced to help Morse toward a resolution. As we travel along the trail of the story, we encounter a fair amount of Cricket with the full complement of both teams as suspects and Lewis playing as well -- incognito. Not much in the way of Morse's idiosyncrasies, for balance, but the plot moves along steadily allowing us to have a relaxing journey as well, although we are jolted with two or three unexpected twists. Speaking of relaxation this tale reveals, arguably, the most relaxed Morse we will encounter in the entire series. Morse's missing first name remains a mystery in itself, however his nickname surfaces as we learn he was called Pagan Morse when he attended this very same college some years past. This is a very pleasant entry; not up there with his best but most agreeable.

All I am Saying is ... Give Morse a Chance!.......2005-08-10

The reviewer who called the title character from the BBC's "Inspector Morse" Inspector "Morose" obviously hasn't given the ivory-haired sleuth a fair chance. Yes, he is sullen and serious; but if you give Morse the opportunity to grow on you, you'll find these qualities not only tolerable, but endearing. It's just who he is.

For example, he is an adept homicide detective, but he is always visibly-shaken at the sight of a dead body. That trait in and of itself says volumes about this character.

Like William Peterson's character, Gil Grissom, from America's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", Morse just doesn't know how to function in certain social situations.

Case in point: The way Morse doesn't know quite where to place his eyes as they dart around the room in the study scene when Mrs. Donn clasps her hand over his. He squirms while any other policeman would console the (seemingly) grieving widow and then simply get on with business.

There is a bonus in this episode: We learn that even in school, Morse refused to divulge his Christian name. He was nick-named Pagan by his peers.

The appearance of a rosy-cheeked young Nathanial Parker is a definite plus. Parker is now an ace TV detective in his own right as Inspector Lynley.

Parker is the ultimate specimen of the English gentleman: Tall, dark, handsome ... and that posh accent that would sound like music to the ears even if he were simply reading the phone book out loud. {{Sigh.}} Too bad he's no good at being bad.

Excellent episode...........2003-12-26

DECEIVED BY FLIGHT, made in 1989, is one of the better Morse dramas. Morse (John Thaw) is more light hearted in this film than some of the later episodes and it is a joy to see him interact with the other actors including his Sgt.'s child. He actually engages in a bit of prank-playing with Robbie (Kevin Whately) who, forced to go `undercover' as a porter at one of the local colleges at Oxford, finds himself "watching" Morse's parked car as part of his duties.

The gist of the story is that an old boys club called `The Clarets XI' is in town for an annual cricket match. One of the members, as well as the team coach are former classmates of Morse. The player-friend approaches Morse for a get-together lunch which turns out to be fish and chips on a park bench near the Thames. Morse senses that his former flatmate has something important to share but he can't quite bring himself to the point of telling Morse what it is. As they part, the friend mentions a Zen saying that involves the sound of one hand clapping and a dead student. Later, the friend turns up dead as a result of suicide. Or was it suicide. Soon Morse believes the man was murdered and he is on the trail of the killer. Was the killer his beautiful wife who could have been having an affair with one of the other cricket players? Was it one of the other cricket players? And what about the couple named Foster who behave suspiciously by asking Robbie the porter for a key to the dead man's room.

This episode has it all-great scenes of Oxford and its environs; Morse and Robbie struggling over the cricket match versus classical music on the various office, car, and other radios at hand; Robbie showing he can play cricket as well as any upper class ponce; a really interesting cricket match (I finally realized the pitcher is trying to hit the little poles behind the batter); Morse sleeping through the cricket match; and Morse falling for the wrong woman. The cast includes some familiar faces such as Daniel Massey, Amanda Hillwood, Sharon Maughan, and a very young Nathaniel Parker.

A complicated mystery for amateur sleuths to solve........2003-10-24

Deceived by Flight is one of author Colin Dexter's favorite televised Morse mysteries. Having seen at least twenty or so of these fine programs, I agree with his judgement.

The performances are uniformly excellent; not just Morse, played reliably and well by the fine actor, John Thaw, but also the supporting cast, particularly Kevin Whately as his able assistant, Sergeant Lewis, and Sharon Maughan as Kate Donn, television hostess and wife of slain barrister Anthony Donn. The plot is complicated and the clues are difficult for even Morse to decipher. Apparently Anthony Donn has committed suicide on the eve of his participation in a cricket match at Oxford. Morse doubts that his old friend deliberately killed himself and begins questioning suspects. As we soon find out, much more is at stake in this mystery than the death of an aging cricket player.

Cricket is part of the fun of this mystery. Much time is spent discussing the sport (Morse would prefer to listen to his music) and we also get to see it played. Sergeant Lewis goes undercover as a porter and expert batsman. At the matches another murder takes place and now Morse must try to determine if there are connections between the two deaths.

Ed Asner plays an old country lawyer who relies upon the common sense of small town America to take on the Washington elite when he charges Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld with felony crimes. In an imagined Court of Common Opinion, the Old Man brings on witnesses who testify that these defendants lied in the statement of their intentions, justifications, and even in their prosecution of the Iraq war. The defense team counters with intelligence and good sense and the stage is set for betrayal, transformation and, at last, the possibility for hope. The outstanding New Mexico cast includes: Paul Blott, Stefany Burrowes, Christopher Dempsey, John Flax, J D Garfield, Rod Harrison, Grady Hughes, Kerry Kehoe, Liam Lockhart, Clara Soister and Mary Woods.
