Floated2 Detour didn't seem to get much buzz or word of mouth as a limited release thriller drama, in which the film delivers and was more enjoyable and entertaining than expected. Having no expectations, Detour fills under the gap and offers some great ride for fans. The chemistry from the leads are what makes the film succeed and the overall suspense factor. Not too predictable, and as a whole the film comes together with some clever twists at the end. Perhaps the film could have been a little longer with more explanations at the end, but overall, Detour is a fun ride, highly recommend.

cellolove13 The concept for this film is unique. I'm surprised this hasn't been done before. The film is very suspenseful. I found myself holding my breath for minutes at a time. There is a twist at the ending and it feels a bit unresolved. I'm surprised this film hasn't gotten more buzz.

jtindahouse 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'.

Enthusiastic_Viewer 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!!
