Think of a romantic, handsome, versatile actor and somewhere in there would be Australian born Hugh Jackman, always the gentleman, as seen in Woody Allen’s Scoop with Scarlett Johansson and the romantic love interest of Meg Ryan in Kate and Leopold.

So to see him in the murdering role of Jamie Getz/Wyatt Bose in Deception comes as a bit of a shock only causing a girl’s pulse to beat faster with fright rather than passion!

Hugh, in this manipulating tantalizing role, is teamed up with Michelle Williams (partner of the deceased Heath Ledger) whom he takes from a street corner call girl to a pawn in his intriguing plot to secure $20 million from the bank account of a deceased millionaire associate.

William’s role is initially hard to read and comes across as slightly bland, along with the character of Jonathan McQuarry played by Ewan McGreger. Jonathan is an accountant who is befriended by Jackman who brings excitement to his otherwise boring life when he introduces him to a sex club known as The List. As the plot unravels Michelle, as ‘S’ becomes a deeper character than the movie first suggests.

Eventually, we are taken to a conclusion that is meant to be exotic, sexual and finally explains some of the strange camera shots of a leaky pipe along the way!

The last few moments of the movie, filmed in a park in Madrid, leave the cinema-goer with several unanswered questions, such as, where the hell is the $20 million?

Although Heath Ledger left a legally binding will, his family are contesting it. Never heard of uncles having a say in a will, but there it is!

Its been less than two months since Heath Ledger met his untimely demise after an accidental over dose at his apartment in Greenwich Village, New York and already the vultures are circling around his bank accounts.

‘Dressed up’ as their concern that Heath’s fortune is used to provide for his daughter, Matilda’s future, the Brokeback Mountain star’s family are going public about his father, Kim’s, inability to manage the will.

Ledger’s will had not been updated since he met Michelle Williams with whom he had the child Matilda, making his last will the final statement of where he wanted his estate to go upon his death.

It would appear that Heath left everything to his parents but his uncles feel that his father is not equipped to manage the dosh based on his handling of his own father’s will.

They say he doesn’t have the best track record. He’s so bad at managing money that he was removed as executor of his grandfather’s estate 15 years ago.

Well, maybe during that period of 15 years he has matured enough to handle his son’s will and clearly Heath himself had no dilemma about appointing his father executor to his will.

The uncles have stressed they are not trying to exclude Kim from the will for personal gain (really?) but they feel the need to protect Matilda’s interest in the matter.

Well, uncles, looking at it objectively its not all that likely that little Matilda will ever be struggling for the odd million dollars or so as she still has a successful Hollywood actress for a mother and will always be the daughter of a much loved, talented and missed movie star.

After all the speculation and rumours about Heath Ledger’s life and death,  weeks after later the New York Medical Examiner’s office has released the following statement, “Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine,” the office said in a statement.

“We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications.”

Heath Ledger, 28, renowned for his role as a gay cowboy in the 2005 movie Brokeback Mountain, was found dead in bed at his Manhattan apartment on January 22^nd 2008 after his housekeeper was unable to wake him for an appointment he had with his masseure.

Heath had achieved much during his 28 years, a rising star in Hollywood, a father to a 2 year old Matilda, a partner to Michelle Williams and man respected and adored by other actors and fans alike.

Heath received an Oscar nomination for his role in the movie Brokeback Mountain and had completed filming his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, a Batman film due out this year which saw Heath taking the role from Jack Nicholson and starring alongside Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the sister of his co star in Brokeback Mountain, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Other film credits included The Patriot in 2000 in which he starred as Mel Gibson’s son Monster’s Ball in 2001 and I’m Not There in 2007.
