The Deceivers Movie Review 1988

Brosnan stars as a British officer sent on a dangerous unercover mission in 1820s India. He's to infiltrate the notorious Thuggee cult, known for robbing and murdering unwary travelers. Interesting premise falters due to slow pacing and Brosnan's lack of believability.
