Ruby Cairo/Deception Brief ReviewNote: Ruby Cairo was released in Europe (Region 2 DVD); Deception was released in the U.S. (Region 1 DVD). They are not identical; the more explicit love scenes between MacDowell and Mortensen were removed before the film was released in the U.S. as Deception, at MacDowell's insistence.

Review: Deception (a.k.a. Ruby Cairo) - James Berardinelli's detailed review pans Deception as "an empty tale of treachery and lies that rarely makes sense and engages the audience's interest even less frequently."
Review: Deception/Ruby Cairo - One gets the impression that Viggo Mortensen fan Colleen Wallace would like to have enjoyed this movie more than she did. "While both Mortensen and Neeson hold up their ends valiantly, this film implodes in the middle from a flimsy script and a leading lady who has more looks than acting talent."
Rotten Tomatoes Reviews: Deception - Quotes from reviews with links to full text for some. Generally unfavorable though Steve Rhodes says, "Truth be told, the plot is so crazy and so full of holes that it keeps your attention in a strange sort of way. It is so bad, it is fascinating."
