True Deception (2015)
Tuesday 5th April 2016
A stellar ensemble cast of James Franco (127 Hours), Ed Harris (Snowpiercer), Amber Heard (The Danish Girl), and Christian Slater (True Romance) stars in this semi-autobiographical story about a writer's obsession with his own past and a real-life murder case. An unnerving thriller packed with stunning performances, shock twists, and psychological tension.
Trying to deal with his past success, writer's block, substance abuse, and childhood trauma, author Stephen Elliot (James Franco) takes on a project to write about the bizarre murder trial of Hans Reiser (Christian Slater), who is accused of murdering his wife.
But as the case takes an unexpected turn, Elliot's father Neil (Ed Harris) resurfaces to challenge his son's claims about their history, beginning an introspective obsession with truth, deception, and sins of the past.
With its flashbacks and non-linear narrative, True Deception, released on DVD on 25th April 2016 courtesy of Arrow Films, will have you second-guessing Elliot's story every step of the way and promises to be one of the year's most psychologically affecting thrillers. Not to be missed.
