Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope The basic story is pretty strong, but the dialogue seems stiff and awkward. The acting is generally good, anchored by Gossett and Nelson. Rated: C Jul 30, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The movie contains, a low and shallow moral, that I don't liked it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member An absolutely awful propaganda piece intended to demonize the SETI@home program by saying that the signal could most-likely come from hell and not outer space! Lame premise. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I was excited to watch the newest release from the fastest growing Christian production company, Cloud Ten Pictures. Having already set the standard in Christian films with hit's like Revelation, Tribulation, Judgment, and Left Behind, I prepared myself for another surprise hit. I was not disappointed as this intriguing supernatural tale of good vs. evil unfolded like a Steven King classic. Paul Lalonde and John Patus wrote a brilliant screenplay that clearly unmasks the enemy that surrounds those who are searching for eternal answers in modern day science. This story is played out by a superb cast who add depth and life to their characters. The characters are one of the most important elements to the success of this film. Unlike most science fiction films that depend on special effects and blown up budgets, Decieved succeeds with strong character interaction and transformations that make up the mystery and suspense. This is a character-driven story that relies more on the talents of its players than it's budget. Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St.Elmo's Fire) plays Jack Jones, a tech expert who is called upon to assist in sharing the un-identified signal with the world. Jack is faced with his greatest challenge in piecing together the mystery surrounding the signal and it's strange effects on everyone who listens to it. Academy Award winner Louis Gossett Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman) masters the role of Colonel David Garrett, the man behind the top-secret government project who discovers more than he bargained for after becoming trapped with the crazed team. It's refreshing to see Christian projects being produced that aren't ashamed to proclaim the gospel. Deceived not only entertains with mystery and suspense, but it presents the clear gospel message of hope and salvation without being too preachy. Cloud Ten continues to step forward with each project that pushes the limits and sets new standards. Intriguing, suspenseful, and entertaining, Deceived is fun! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie, very exciting, Cloud 10 gets the best actors, I give it a two thumbs up! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Deceived. Starring Lou Gosset Jr. About an Observatory receiving a signal from space. A pretty good thriller, but the religion makes the movie silly. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member So bad, so terribly bad...
