Deceived
In a remote space observatory perched high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, a needle frantically scratches erratic lines on a strip chart recorder confirming an extraterrestrial signal. Emmett Shaw, the powerful, charismatic billionaire who owns the observatory, rushes to the station, hungry to expose the discovery. This is the biggest moment in human history and he is the man responsible for it all. With the goal of immediately sharing the signal with the entire world, he brings along two leading journalists--Kara Walsh, an extremely attractive, top-notch investigative reporter who begrudgingly owes her career to Shaw, and Reverend Fletcher, a new age visionary with the hottest radio show in the country. Also accompanying Shaw is Jack Jones, a scruffy but brilliant computer technician whose pessimistic and often sarcastic attitude ruffles many feathers in the group--especially Smitty's, the program director, who happens to be Jack's ex-girlfriend and the only Christian in the group.

Reviews
i must have seen a different film!!
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This pretty much fits into the realm of the B budget sci-fi category. The brand name actors do an ok job but they fall victim to the script at hand. I would advise most people to avoid this film since they probably don't have the appetite for the preachings put forth in the film.Before seeing this movie, I had no idea that a Christian Film genre even existed. I will probably not sleep well tonight knowing that it does. It's not nice to sugarcoat your brainwashing, people.
Decent cast marooned in a miserable script that delivers an inconsistent and often incomprehensible message. The characters are unbelievable and sometimes unnecessary - what purpose is served by the psychokinetic except to supply some gratuitous bloodshed and dime-store special effects? The story itself falls under the heading of an "idiot plot" because only idiots would behave the way these characters do when faced with these situations. And that includes the (unseen) Devil, who seems to need electricity in order to deliver his message.I saw the film on cable with no preconceived notions and no knowledge that this is the "Christian Film" genre.Unintentionally funny at times. A 6.66 second message? Please don't bludgeon the viewer with the Book of Revelation.Technically incongruous. Phones don't work, radios don't work, but the Internet connection to the Pentagon does work.If you want to like it because it has a religious theme, you'll like it. If you're looking for cinema, look elsewhere.
One of the worst movies I have seen this year! Bad acting, poor plot, no ideas. I dont mind the low budget movies but most of the budget of this poor (in absence of better word at the moment let's promote it into movie) movie was spent on smashing cool flat panels at the end. Poor monitors - died in vain. Skip it! Or if you want to amuse yourself and check how bad a movie can be - this is the contender!
I'll be honest, when I picked up "Deceived", I was less than looking forward to viewing it. Given Cloud Ten's horrible and unbearable movie record, it's still a mystery why I picked it up. But since I was out of movies to watch for the night, I popped it in.SURPRISE!!!This has to be Cloud Ten's best movie to date. After seeing all of the others (Revelation, Tribulation, Judgment, Left Behind, ect.) I was surprised to find out that Cloud Ten is learning the meaning of the word, "Quality". The script wasn't that bad at all; it was not overly preachy. There were some awkward dialogue, but it was a LOT less than all the other movies. As far as casting goes, again lot's of improvement from previous films. I think that casting Judd Nelson was a good decision as well as that of Gossit. It was well photographed, the sound mix was decent and the score actually fit.Overall, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. It's not totally perfect (Title Sequence) , but it's getting there. Regardless of what others might think, "Deceived", has quality behind it that ALL the other Cloud Ten movies could only long for. If Cloud Ten continues on this path, they may just win me back.
