Much better than expected!

Much better than expected!

I was really not expecting much with no name actors (I didn't recognize any one) and no name director and writer Christopher Smith, but I was very pleasantly surprised!

All the actors were spot on, maybe a little overboard in some instances but it played well with the directing which was actually very impressive for a director and writer I never heard of!

Yes there were a few plot holes but for a 'B' or less movie, everything else was exceptional!

Well done Christopher Smith and to the entire cast for a great thrill ride!

Smart little thriller

Detour is a film about this teen who hires a criminal to murder his stepfather and we see the movie played out in two different ways:if he hired the criminal and if he didn't. But things aren't always as they seem, you will see for yourself and if you did, you probably know what I'm talking about.

It's interesting in the first act, then it slows down a bit in the second act and then turns the complete plot around in the third act. This movie may be a bit too many plot twists to process at first, but once you really think about it, it all makes perfect sense. The problem is, that slowing down in the second act makes you lose your interest a bit, but don't let that fool you.

The movie isn't long, so try to get into it. It's very stylishly done and it's a nice throwback to crime movies of the 90s, like Reservoir Dogs or True Romance. If you are thinking about watching this, gibe it a chance.

Crossroad

Detour is a way better title than the one they gave this in Germany. Even so it was not giving too much away, this just makes more sense. Although I would like to think and believe that crossroads may also work. Run Lola Run had a similar feel to it - at least partially. Where a character has to decide how to continue and where to go - what the consequences of their doing may be.

Our main character may be flawed, but he is our hero. And he seems to want to do good - choose the right path for him, the way he sees it. But we know about good intentions, don't we? Also there surely must be a twist here, right? Right? If you think like that, the movie probably will sneak up on you and surprise you with quite a lot of its choices. I liked that very much. The actors did a great job and a final "stab"/twist really is as mean as they come ... well depending on your viewpoint of course ... but that's life, right?
