Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

We watched the entire movie, just knowing it had to get better, but it never improved. From a fragmented story line to poor performances from all the actors this movie never gelled. It seems like they put the first and only take in the can after filming each scene. The Mexican guys slinking around supposedly following the main character was really hokey, their involvement was spotty and unexplained. The justification of their purpose was not developed visually or in the dialog other then we knew they wanted to kill someone. Andie McDowell sometimes had an accent and sometimes not. Wow, what a disappointment and some reviewers said it had great scenery, where? Discounting for the age of the movie, the cinematography was sub-par. The sun was coming over the horizon when they were half way up the pyramid and still in the same spot when they reached the top.

A great idea for a movie, but a terrible script. Watched this movie on Netflix under the title "Deception" because I love the actors in this film, but again, a terrible script! Do you really expect me to believe that MacDowell's character would seriously attack an armed gunman who just shot her husband and then throw herself over her dead husband's body (who, by the way, just faked his death in order to dump her and her children with nothing to live on) when she's got three kids waiting for her to come home? She seemed to take all of that rather well when she saw him for the first time in Cairo and just wandered off with him, holding hands, on their way to his little palace... I don't think so...I would have beat him down for deserting me and my kids and for forcing my children to deal with the "death" of their father and at such a young age. Let's don't forget that he left them with nothing and didn't give a crap about them--at all! The characters just aren't believable or reliable because the dialog is plain awful and the characters are not well-developed at all. The story between Liam Neeson's character and Andie MacDowell's character could have been great but it was too choppy to relate to. I would not watch this movie again and I would not recommend it to anyone. Sorry Liam, you're one of my favorites but this movie was a waste of time.

Andie MacDowell proves her potential as a performer once again in 'Ruby Cairo'. Its her sincere performance that leads the film & is undoubtedly the biggest merit as well. 'Ruby Cairo' Synopsis: A businessman is supposedly killed in an airline crash. His wife has her doubts and travels the world searching for him. It slowly unravels that he faked his own death and was an international smuggler.'Ruby Cairo' is an average film. It surely begins well & some portions do leave a mark, but overall, the result is ordinary. The Screenplay is erratic & the twists & turns are predictable. Graeme Clifford's Direction is decent. On the whole, If you're a true Andie MacDowell Fan, you should watch 'Ruby Cairo'.

Maybe 10 is a little overrated but i didn't expect to enjoy this movie so much. This was a real good surprise: I imagined that it would be a romance taking place in Egypt while it is rather a treasure hunt all around the world: north and south America, Germany, Greece and Egypt… It is very exotic and the middle-east locations are beautiful: the pyramids, the mosque… I also really like how Andie carries the entire movie on her shoulders alone. Her drive is interesting and not so common by the way. Only Angelina Jolie got characters like this.It is also an eye-opener for charities because it seems that they have to deal with the devil to achieve their humanitarian goals.As always, Liam Neeson plays a trustworthy and dedicated man.
