DETOUR (2016) Tye Sheridan, Emory Cohen, Bel Powley

! No longer available

Harper (Tye Sheridan), a seemingly naive law student, obsesses over the idea that his shifty stepfather was involved in the devastating car crash that left his mother hospitalized and comatose.

He drowns his suspicions in whiskey until he finds himself suddenly engrossed in conversation with volatile grifter Johnny (Emory Cohen) and his stripper companion, Cherry (Bel Powley).

As daylight breaks and the haziness of promises made becomes clearer, how will Harper handle the repercussions--not to mention the violent duo--on his doorstep)?

Employing a split-narrative structure to tell this tale of deception and murder, Christopher Smith takes his audience on a thrill ride full of hairpin turns, where it's never quite clear what or who can be trusted.

What pisses me off is that I don't remember seeing what happened to "Michael", the highway patrolman with the wife and kid.    :laugh:

Maybe just discuss those important details, like what caliber handgun is Cherry using?



Very tiny hole on a large frame revolver...

LOL!

For some reason, I must have snoozed a few minutes after she made the black officer get into the trunk.   What happened to him? 

Please??   Somebody tell me.    Make it up if you have to.    happy77
