Will M This film panders to a 70 year old Noir tradition in a tale of murder, sex and loot yet instead of dark shadows were set down smack in the middle of Death Valley in full living color with a triumvirate of modern day losers. As an efficient pseudo-noir "Delusion" qualifies in that it sucks you down into its plot. We soon find ourselves rooting for an embezzling executive trapped by Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hoodlum who borrowed his Volvo with him and his half million dollars in tow. The anxiety level hits high gear as Mr. Exec absconds with the Volvo only to be headed off by Mr. Hoodlum and an accomplice who is later trotted out and executed by order of Mr. Big for the sum of 50 large. Summarily Mr. Exec is left for dead in the desert only to be saved by a Harley riding Mrs. Wrong who roams the earth in search of her significant other. Back from the dead Mr. Exec. creeps into a spellbinding final showdown reminiscent of "High Noon" except with 9mm semi autos this time around. A somewhat disturbing film, as pseudo-noir "Delusion" works. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Audience Member An excellent modern film noir. Meltzer is brilliant in the lead role, Secor makes a great low level hitman and Rubin a very sexy moll. A bonus is a cameo from the late great Jerry Orbach. A must see. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A software company executive embezzles money from his failing company to invest in a new venture. Stashing the money in his trunk, he drives to Reno. Along the way, he sees a car drive off the road and offers to take the couple in the car to the next town. This turns out to be a very bad idea. Watching this film was a similarly bad idea. Kyle Secor is playing an admittedly annoying character in this movie. I'm not sure if he's doing a terrible job, or far too good of a job, but he really makes this film unwatchable. Jerry Orbach shows up and briefly redeems the film, but sadly he does not last long enough to really make a difference. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Really need to check it out again. Haven't seen it since my video store clerk days. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, twisty, funny and fun. Kyle Secor is great, he plays 'love to hate him" bad guy Chevy with complexity and layers, instead of as a one-note heavy. He is highly-underrated as an actor, and should be considered for more varied roles based on his performance in this movie alone!
