| | Definition: | | Deceiver
Tim Roth ("Pulp Fiction") and Renee Zellweger ("Jerry Maguire") star in this riveting psychological thriller with shocking twists, "sharp dialogue and a cynical intelligence" (Chicago Tribune). Charged with unbridled suspense and powerful performances, it's an edge-of-your-seat mystery that delves into the chilling, murky depths of truth and deception. James Wayland (Roth) is not a typical murder suspect: he's fabulously wealthly, a Princeton graduate and has a genius-level I.Q. But Detectives Braxton (Chris Penn) and Kennesaw (Michael Rooker) sense that there's more than meets the eye when they interrogate him for the brutal killing of a beautiful call girl(Zellweger). As their search for the truth takes a suddenly dangerous turn, Braxton and Kennesaw realize that Wayland is a master manipulator, cleverly using their darkest secrets against them in a lethal, winner-take-all game that ignites a powder keg of deadly motives and shocking revelations. more details ... |

| | Definition: | | \De*ceiv"er\, n.
One who deceives; one who leads into error; a cheat; an
impostor.
The deceived and the deceiver are his. --Job xii. 16.
Syn: {Deceiver}, {Impostor}.
Usage: A deceiver operates by stealth and in private upon
individuals; an impostor practices his arts on the
community at large. The one succeeds by artful
falsehoods, the other by bold assumption. The
faithless friend and the fickle lover are deceivers;
the false prophet and the pretended prince are
impostors.
