DATE REVIEWED: 08/23/2017


TITLE:. Deceived


FORMAT: Laserdisc


TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 1 hour 50 minutes


DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 26.4 miles


TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 7328.2 miles


SYNOPSIS: A woman discovers that the man she married five years prior is not the husband she thought he was.


CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: The ultimate fear of women, finding out your husband is someone you do not know.  


PROS AND CONS:  A much better film than I thought it would be.  Goldie Hawn does a very good dramatic turn as a woman whose life is turned upside down.


This is a suspense film that is very well done, almost in the style of Hitchcock.  Camera work, direction and soundtrack all add to the exceptional performances to make a very engrossing film.  


Had I not seen his name in the credits, I would have recognized the soundtrack by Thomas Newman.  His music adds an extreme amount of suspense to what otherwise would have been mediocre scenes.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle.  A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
