Review of Detour (1992) by Aidan H — 26 Apr 2010
What a loser. First he loses his girlfriend. Then he loses his common sense, by making terrible decisions. Finally he loses his self respect. Al Roberts' life is turned into a living nightmare as he battles against the twist of fate... ...And comes out the loser.
When I first saw this film I thought it was very good. After a few more viewings, I realised that this is the great movie ever made. Director Edgar G Ulmer creates an atmospheric noir with fog bound sets, a scary femme fatale, an excellent choice of song and a whole sense of doom. Best viewed late at night.
