Reindeer Games (also released under the title Deception) is a 2000 American action thriller film directed by John Frankenheimer, in what would be his final feature before his death in 2002. The film stars Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Gary Sinise, Dennis Farina, James Frain, Donal Logue, Danny Trejo, and Clarence Williams III. The plot centers on Rudy Duncan, an ex-convict who assumes his deceased cellmate's identity and becomes entangled in a heist targeting a casino in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The film was released theatrically by Miramax Films on February 25, 2000. It received generally negative reviews from critics and emerged as a commercial failure at the box office, grossing $32 million worldwide against a $42 million budget.
