Ruby Cairo Audience Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
namashi_1 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'.
wes-connors After her missing husband's remains are identified as having died in a Veracruz, Mexico plane crash, pretty mom Andie MacDowell (as Elizabeth "Bessie" Faro) must face reality. He is gone, or is he… She should have taken those mysterious teeth in for a second opinion because they appear to be non-human. It's also strange how easily Ms. MacDowell's workman opened such an important piece of mail. There are more jaw-dropping story developments to be seen, so be forewarned...Flashbacks to romantic times introduce handsome husband Viggo Mortensen (as Johnny Faro), an aviation enthusiast. A Pittsburgh Pirates fan, Mr. Mortensen calls MacDowell "Ruby Cairo". Few couples look as good as they do from behind; for proof, replay the end of that flashback. Investigating her husband's passing, MacDowell meets "Feed the World" worker Liam Neeson (as Fergus Lamb). She also finds a stash of Mortensen's old baseball cards, leading her around the world in search of a double life...***** Ruby Cairo/ Deception (4/30/93) Andie MacDowell, Liam Neeson, Viggo Mortensen, Jack Thompson
ccthemovieman-1 Being in the USA, I know this film under the title, "Deception."The first half of this movie was very good, very interesting, but the final segment was a big, big disappointment. Overall, it's kind of a strange, confusing story yet fascinating for the most part. I liked the baseball card angle, even if most other people didn't.When "Bessie Faro" a.k.a. "Rubie Cairo" (Andie MacDowell) finally finds her husband, the film goes to pieces.The scenery is great to view - scenes from Veracruz, Berlin, Athens and capped off by some magnificent shots of the Great Pyramids outside Cairo. Liam Neeson did his normal superb acting job and creating a likable character.Boy, this could have been a super movie with a much-different and better done finale. The premise and the scenery were the highlights; the script, the lowlight. However, I'll think you'll find overall it's still a lot better than the national critics would have you believe. It's worth a look. Just expect the film to go downhill the last third.
Tracey (kneazles) I saw this movie a couple years ago, after Viggo Mortensen became famous with LotR. Only now have I found it again, and although I missed the beginning of the film, I really liked it!Viggo plays a scheming husband who leaves only baseball cards as a clue; his wife, played by Andie MacDowell, travels the world to find out what just happened to her husband (is he dead or not?), and along the way meets up with a friendly acquaintance (Liam Neeson), together they unravel Viggo's deception.Okay, so it kind of dragged on, but the storyline wasn't too shabby, and the locations were great! Seeing Viggo play a bad-guy is always fun too! From a late teenager's POV, this was a pretty good movie. Not the best out there, but good enough to hold my interest!
