Cuba Gooding Jr., who has been doing a number of these Grade B films recently, stars as FBI Agent John Nelson who is trying to bring down a billionaire Australian Ponzi schemer named Ronald Osterberg (Chris Betts). The scenery in this resort area of Australia is eye-catching and the filmmakers made sure there were a number of voluptuous looking women on screen, but the script seemed cobbled together from elements that we've all seen before. In this film, set mostly in Gold Coast, Australia, the plot contrivances became way too much for my tastes. CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ACCOUNTANT AND BODY OF LIES MOVIE MOVIEI recommend this movie to people who like there cheap thrillers about a woman trying to find out what happened to her dead husband. She just became annoying after a while which made the movie more difficult to watch. The lady who plays the lead (Emmanuele Vaugier), who has starred in movies like Saw II and 40 Days & 40 Nights, wasn't that amazing in this film. I can't see him reading the script, thinking that it was that amazing, and you can tell by his acting that he didn't put his all into it so I will just out this down to another bad choice. Terrible! Round-Up: This must have been a simple pay day for Cuba Gooding Jr. The whole thing seemed cheap without that much thought so I would leave this one off of your rental list. I wasn't expecting that much from the film, so I wasn't overly disappointed, but the director could have at least tried to make a watchable film. The director tried to add some wit to this thriller, which really didn't work, and the lady who played the leading role wasn't really that convincing as an investigator. I lost interest earlier on in the movie because it was obvious what was going on. Review: This is a terrible "made for TV" type movie with bad acting and a boring storyline. Very by the numbers, slow in spots, badly acted, and boring. If you're watching a film and noticing someone's eyebrows, how into it can you be? There's a twist at the end but by then I'm afraid not many people cared. Gooding does okay, but I have a feeling he just phoned it in. Emmanuelle Vaugier is beautiful, but there is no chemistry at all between her and Gooding. Basically they would all be happy if she would just go home. There she runs into Nelson, Osterberg, and an obstinate Police Inspector Hendricks. Rebecca heads for Australia to find out what happened. But Nelson doesn't get to him in time and sees him killed. In order to avoid being killed, he was turning evidence over to the FBI. An accountant, he had his hand in the billion-dollar cookie jar of his new boss, a Bernie Madoff type named Osterberg. He was about to be put into the Witness Protection Program. The plot is derivative, about a reporter, Rebecca Scott (Vaugier) who finds out that her dead husband, supposedly killed in a car accident two years earlier, has actually just died in Australia, living under the name Miles Archer, and married to someone else. The Gold Coast in Australia looks positively gorgeous in "Absolute Deception," a film from 2013 which stars Cuba Gooding, Jr., Emmanuelle Vaugier, Ty Hungerford, and Evert McQueen. Some violence, but really doesn't rate an "R" in my opinion. Some distorted frosted shower scene rear nudity.and I think she was wearing a bikini on top of that. Save your money and wait for Lifetime to show it. The highlight of the picture is the occasional predictable banter that goes on between Goodling and Vaugier. The film was far too predictable to make it enjoyable. NY driver's licenses do not require fingerprints either. The script is improbable to say the least, especially the main relationship. Rebecca goes to Australia to investigate her husband's death and ends up tagging along with Cuba Goodling jr. It just so happens her ex-dead husband worked for him before he died a second time. Rebecca did an article on an Australian billionaire who is now under criminal investigation. Mild manner accountant Archer had faked his death before in NY when he was married to investigative reporter Rebecca Scott (Emmanuelle Vaugier). Dennis Archer (Ty Hungerford) is supposed to deliver information to James, an FBI agent (Cuba Gooding Jr.) but dies before it happens, although they haven't found the body. CORRELATION BETWEEN THE ACCOUNTANT AND BODY OF LIES MOVIE TVThe film has all the feel, graphics, CG effects, and dialouge as a made for TV film.
