Ah, 'Crowned Deceit', a film that truly believes it's the cleverest in the room. With the subtlety of a sledgehammer, this Baz Luhrmandrill-directed fiasco takes us on a journey through the 'cutthroat labyrinth' of power, and boy, do they want you to know it's cutthroat. Our protagonist, Alejandro, played with all the smarm James Bean can muster, is about as charming as a politician on the campaign trail. And let's not forget Michael B. Jor-doughnut, whose mentorship in the art of political navigation is as believable as a fortune cookie's wisdom. Florence Lawn-fawnce's portrayal of the 'enigmatic thief' is as enigmatic as her character's name is forgettable. The film struts around draped in the guise of satire, yet trips over every trope in the book. The tagline promises 'every throne has its thorns,' but sadly, this throne is lined with nothing but wilted roses and the faint whiff of missed opportunities. The R rating hints at the maturity the film aspires to but never quite reaches. In the end, 'Crowned Deceit' is a masterclass in how to dress up old clichés in new clothes and sell them as high fashion, leaving us wondering if the real con is the one the film has played on its audience.
