Give this one a shot. It may seem standard at the beginning, but soon gets pretty interesting.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into 'Detour'. I have enjoyed some of writer/director Christopher Smith's previous work, it always has an edge to it, something that makes it unique and different. Again it would have to be said that 'Detour' is a unique film, just perhaps not as much so as some of his other films. Something else I like about his work is that it pulls no punches and you really have a sense as an audience member that anything could happen. That is certainly apparent in 'Detour'. One thing that let the film down for me was Tye Sheridan in the lead role. He just has zero charisma and is very hard to root for. I understand his role wasn't supposed to be an overly likable or fun guy, but a good actor can still make themself watchable and entertaining while playing a role like that. Other than that though there isn't a whole lot I can fault the film for. The rest of the cast performed adequately and the pacing is very well handled despite a chopping type of story line. It's certainly nothing game-changing or mesmerising, but if you have a couple of hours to kill there are far worse ways you could do it than by watching 'Detour'.

Manny's Movie Musings: "Detour" is an indie flick about a teen (played by Tye Sheridan) who enlists the help of a young gangster (Emory Cohen) to kill Sheridan's dad (Stephen Moyer). The story's strengths are the talented, young cast (Sheridan and Cohen); and a manipulation of the timeline to produce a clever twist at the beginning of the third act plus a more shocking twist near the end. "Detour" is weakened by the dialogue Cohen speaks, making the actor seem like a wannabe Tarantino character and the writer/director just a plain, wannabe Tarantino. My most memorable, movie moment of "Detour" is the revelation of the twist ending that turned this somewhat entertaining movie from a suspense/thriller into a tragedy. Mannysmemorablemoviemoments

Things aren't always as they seem. This is a great movie filled with the unexpected. Very entertaining! Great cast.

'DETOUR': Four Stars (Out of Five) A British thriller about a young law student, who blames his stepfather for causing the car accident which put his mother into a coma. So he hires a professional criminal, that he meets at a bar, to kill the despised stepdad. It stars Tye Sheridan, Emory Cohen, Bel Powley and Stephen Moyer. The film was written and directed by Christopher Smith (who's also helmed one other movie I've seen, 2010's 'BLACK DEATH'). I thought the film was pretty interesting, although dark, and involving too. One night at a bar, Harper (Sheridan), a young college law student, meets Johnny Ray (Cohen), a professional criminal. Harper explains to Johnny how he blames his stepfather, Vincent (Moyer), for his mother being in a coma (and he especially blames him for never going to visit her). Johnny offers to kill Vincent, for $20,000. Harper, while extremely drunk, accepts the offer. The next day though, when Johnny shows up at Vincent's door, with his girlfriend Cherry (Powley), Harper begins to have serious doubts about going through with the plan. Johnny talks him into it though. The movie is even darker than it sounds! What's really disturbing about it though, is that some of the most likable people in it are the ones doing the darkest and most disturbing things (and the film makes you sympathize with them). I always find it strange, and disturbing, when a movie can make me feel something for someone who's doing something really horrible. This is one of those films. The performances are pretty good in it too, especially Sheridan and Cohen. It's a movie that I probably won't forget anytime soon, and I always have to give a film like that a decent amount of credit.

not the greatest Smith's movie but it it's not bad at all , the ending was really dramatic and sad for me , it's twisting end sort of movies ,it has lot of suspense and will keep you suspended until the last moments , i liked Tye Sheridan acting but not much love for Emory Cohen acting the movie teaches us a life lesson which is never jump to conclusion and don't make decisions and take actions based on presumptions rather than facts and understanding . I consider this movie to be in the must see list all people have to watch this movie .

Finely acted, nicely written little film. Each actor shines in their role and I bet once you start watching you won't be able to stop. Part of the charm of this film is how the director unfolds the story with smart editing. At first I thought it was going to be 2 parallel stories as the conversation in the strip joint suggest. One person 2 decisions and their respective paths each being shown. Then it comes together with the scene involving the policeman. It's one story! Check this one out for sure! Enjoy!

Well as this is movie first movie review, I'll keep it to a minimum. With that being said, I didn't expect much from this movie. I didn't really hear a lot about it and there's not a whole lot of actors in it that I'm familiar with, with the exception of Stephen Moyer. I must say I was a bit surprised! Not a great movie that's gonna blow your mind or make you want to watch it over and over, rather, an enjoyable film worth actually watching. There's a little twist that makes it interesting and holds your attention. Actors/actresses did a fine job, they played their parts well and made them very believable. I rated this a 6 because it's worth a lazy Saturday morning watch. Enjoy!!
