After his string of subversive Hollywood hits like Basic Instinct, Robocop, and Total Recall,
director Paul Verhoeven has returned home to Holland for his most experimental project of all – the first user-generated film, Tricked.
The first five minutes of this comedic-erotic thriller were written by a professional screenwriter
and filmed by Verhoeven. After this first scene was posted to the internet, viewers were
invited to submit their version of the rest of the story. Verhoeven and his team then pieced
together the rest of the plot from their submissions.
This unique feature begins with a documentary of Tricked ’s production, Paul’s Experience, which takes you
through nine months of behind-the-scenes adventures, as the whole nation guided Verhoeven in his project.
The second part presents Tricked itself, a slickly realized thriller of lies and romantic betrayal. It follows a real
estate tycoon and womanizer (Peter Blok, Black Book) whose entire family is caught up in his web of lies,
leading to shady corporate takeovers and pregnancies of unknown origin. A prickling, erotic, and hilarious
satire of modern capitalism, it’s a rollicking film only Verhoeven could make.
