(2005) Lies and Deception MYSTERY THRILLER Chicago housewife, Jean Brooks (Madchen Amick) receives a notice that her certified doctor husband's dead body had been discovered in a car located in Detroit who assumed to dead five years ago from a boating accident . And that because this recent news of her late husband's death was labelled as a suicide, the investigation was deemed to be closed. However, Jean then finds out that she has problems returning his body back to Chicago, only to find out later that her husband had lead a double life, and that he has already been cremated by a wife Jean knows nothing about who lives in Detroit. Advising by the Chicago police department not to get involve, the homicide detective who closed the file suggests to Jean that if she wanted to find out more about this other life Jean knows nothing about, that she should employ the services of a private investigator, and he hands her a card. At first, she is reluctant but later gives in meeting, Eddie Fate (Andrew Walker) and upon his investigation there is foul play. And of course, both Jean and Eddie relationship escalates the more they uncover about her late husband's business dealings. Not bad despite already been done before as there is one revelation after the next, despite attempting to be family friendly - the subject matter is not so much family friendly.

This is obviously not a blockbuster but it is watchable despite some trite dialogue. The male main character is a private eye that somehow never carries a gun and does not know how to fight. The predictable affair with his client can be overlooked since they are two good looking humans. The tarot card aspect was not necessary and did not make the story complete. It has Lifetime written all over it.

Madchen Amick is so attractive as is her co star Andrew Walker. They are trying to piece together the mystery of her husband's faked death and then his real death. It all has to do with his discovery of a Mexican cancer drug not approved yet in the States. His old friend Joseph Kell is somehow involved. Great popcorn, curl up, and watch.

There was a nice framing device to "Lies and Deception" with a Tarot reading for the protagonist Jean Brooks. In a dynamic opening scene, the Tarot reader was sensitive as she provided a spot-on analysis of Jean's fortunes and the trial that lies ahead of her. Jean was confused when her husband Sam, a doctor and cancer researcher, died in an apparent boating accident, yet resurfaced five years later only to be found dead in his car. Against the wishes of her devoted mother, Jean moves into action to investigate the circumstances of her husband's five years spent away from her. Enlisted in the investigation is the private eye Eddie Fate. It is not an understatement to suggest that Jean's fate rests in Eddie's strong hands. The couple visit Detroit where they meet Sam's second wife, the mysterious Charlotte Porter. In the most complicated of the plot strands in the film, Charlotte turns out to be Sam's sister Denise. She has colluded with her partner in crime, Dr. Chris Schwartzman to effectively hold Sam hostage while they develop a plan to illegally sell Sam's cancer medication, which he tested in Mexico. Jean and Eddie finally learn the truth about the two scammers. In the process, Jean and Eddie fall in love! There was a well-crafted denouement in which Jean returns for a Tarot reading that augurs well for her future love life. The film was well-crafted, and the performances were top-notch in this thriller that finally uncovers the truth about Sam.

A woman who thinks she has been widowed for 5 years finds out one day her husband has just died and has been leading some secret double life all this time. So she hires an investigator to find out what happened. Madchen Amick looks really pretty here. She has chemistry with her co star Andrew W Walker. The action is slow to unfold and as there is some rather vague medical conspiracy thing. When the mystery is finally explained it isn't that clear but by then don't really care.

Jean Brooks (Mädchen Amick) is shocked when her presumed dead husband Sam turns up in the morgue 5 years later. She hires Eddie Fate (Andrew W. Walker) to investigate the missing years which show no records of him. The police believes it's all about the insurance money. This is a better-than-most Lifetime movie. The premise has good noir possibilities. Amick is a great actress. Once she hires Eddie, they should investigate together and build chemistry. This should be them having a fun thrilling ride uncovering the mystery. It's a mistake to let them separate. In many ways, I'm not concerned about the mystery. It's a McGuffin. The main aspect is the relationship and there's not enough of it. They get together later which is a little too late.

Jean Brooks (Amick) is surprised when Detective Ortuso (Calabretta) turns up on her doorstep with news of her husband's death. This is a shock as her husband died five years earlier. The mystery grows deeper as the dead man's identity is proven to be Jean's Husband Sam (Thibaudeau). Unable to help her, Ortuso recommends P.I. Eddie Fate (Walker). They set out to discover what Sam had been doing for the missing five years. This is a slow burner of a mystery film as the twists and turns unravel slowly. However, this works well within the confines of the story and it allows the actors to shine. Everybody does a good job with their characters, though I think Amick's portrayal is a little lax and lazy. I would've expected more emotion coming from a person in her predicament. Walker does a respectable job with his character and keeps his portrayal engaging, for the viewers. Belanger directs the film to an average standard. There's no wonderful or iconic shots or camera angles in the movie. He doesn't even use filters to change the atmosphere and mood, opting to work in optimal light at all times. This isn't a bad thing, it doesn't detract from the film but it doesn't add anything new or interesting to keep the audience's attention. Though it's not too original or adventurous in it's filming I still found the movie enjoyable. For a TV Thriller, it's worth at least one viewing, though I'd only recommend watching it if you have nothing else to watch.
