bl2moons We watched the entire movie, just knowing it had to get better, but it never improved. From a fragmented story line to poor performances from all the actors this movie never gelled. It seems like they put the first and only take in the can after filming each scene. The Mexican guys slinking around supposedly following the main character was really hokey, their involvement was spotty and unexplained. The justification of their purpose was not developed visually or in the dialog other then we knew they wanted to kill someone. Andie McDowell sometimes had an accent and sometimes not. Wow, what a disappointment and some reviewers said it had great scenery, where? Discounting for the age of the movie, the cinematography was sub-par. The sun was coming over the horizon when they were half way up the pyramid and still in the same spot when they reached the top.

leplatypus Maybe 10 is a little overrated but i didn't expect to enjoy this movie so much. This was a real good surprise: I imagined that it would be a romance taking place in Egypt while it is rather a treasure hunt all around the world: north and south America, Germany, Greece and Egypt… It is very exotic and the middle-east locations are beautiful: the pyramids, the mosque… I also really like how Andie carries the entire movie on her shoulders alone. Her drive is interesting and not so common by the way. Only Angelina Jolie got characters like this.It is also an eye-opener for charities because it seems that they have to deal with the devil to achieve their humanitarian goals.As always, Liam Neeson plays a trustworthy and dedicated man.

ccthemovieman-1 Being in the USA, I know this film under the title, "Deception."The first half of this movie was very good, very interesting, but the final segment was a big, big disappointment. Overall, it's kind of a strange, confusing story yet fascinating for the most part. I liked the baseball card angle, even if most other people didn't.When "Bessie Faro" a.k.a. "Rubie Cairo" (Andie MacDowell) finally finds her husband, the film goes to pieces.The scenery is great to view - scenes from Veracruz, Berlin, Athens and capped off by some magnificent shots of the Great Pyramids outside Cairo. Liam Neeson did his normal superb acting job and creating a likable character.Boy, this could have been a super movie with a much-different and better done finale. The premise and the scenery were the highlights; the script, the lowlight. However, I'll think you'll find overall it's still a lot better than the national critics would have you believe. It's worth a look. Just expect the film to go downhill the last third.

muveebuff15 Ruby Cairo is a would-be good movie despite the choppy plot and horrible script. Liam Neeson is reason enough to see this movie because his performance is the best out of the whole (mis)cast. Andie McDowell's scenes where she was talking to herself were very unreal and uncharacteristic of any human. The love story between Liam and herself was charming but thrust into the movie suddenly and was not picked up at the right times in the plot. The ending, however was cute, despite no real victory on Andie's part. 1/2 *.
