Review of Detour

Detour (I) (2016)
4/10
51 minutes in giving up
20 November 2023
After reading positive reviews and looking at the lead girl I thought I'd give this a shot but as soon as it starts it's very flatly door that u feel like you're starting a very C rate drama or film. I was determined give it a chance though despite the young lad who's mums in a coma having the most annoying face and persona. I'd hoped it would pick up once on the road but instead this try to split into 2 different movies/angles with the other 1 more dull. Im dine with the Hitman and his side chick's performance and think they'd do well with better material and someone who knows how to stylize a film with good pacing and sound. But this is flat with no atmosphere at all it feels naff and cheesy which is a shame for the 2 I mentioned I didn't mind watching.. I don't know if the last 40minutes will be improvement but I've wasted enough of the evening. I'd give this a miss if you don't want to spend nearly a hour of a movie thinking about what else you can watch and wasting your evening. I'll try finish it on another time.
