Detour Reviews
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Detour is just film-school-ish synthesis, right down to the cinematography-midterm shot lit through venetian blinds and the anachronistic analog static on the motel room TV ...
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Neither narrative is particularly compelling, but the road trip one has an edge, because travel's always fun.
We Got This Covered
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
Detour is not quite great, but it is one crazy mile along the road.
Cinema Crazed
Emilie Black
The film develops in a way that could have gone gimmicky but works here, something in great part due to the editing by Kristina Hetherington and cinematography by Christopher Ross.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Lives up to its title in a more literal sense... it is merely a waste of time.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
A film that pulls us in and challenges us with ideas and emotions that are deeply resonant, even as the plot builds a gripping sense of tension. And in addition to the twisty, tricky filmmaking style, the performances carry a striking emotional kick.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
The effect of the film becomes not unlike watching a puzzle solve itself without demanding either the audience's emotional or intellectual investment.
Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Even with three of the big screen's most dynamic up-and-comers at its center, there's no flesh and blood beneath all the posturing.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
All the artfully composed shots, hinky situations and extra conceptual surprises can't make this "Detour" all that compelling beyond its crisp artifice.
Variety
Joe Leydon
This surprisingly satisfying neo-noir thriller borrows a few pages from "Sliding Doors."
The Film Experience
Jason Adams
The characters are never Characters, Capital C for Characters, like they need to be for something this stylized to take
PopMatters
Chance Solem-Pfeifer
If Detour would have been flawed and self-important it'd be unforgivable, but in the end, Smith thankfully shows a lot of verve and not much solemnity. So he burned some rubber and plowed through some traffic signs. Big deal.
TheFilmFile.com
Dustin Putman
If "Detour" appears a touch too familiar for its own good at times, director Christopher Smith puts enough of his own stamp on the material to give the story a fresh, devious urgency.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Hardly the first crime movie to play around with timelines (and not always successful at doing so), this thriller gets away with it due to intriguing characters, a snappy pace, and a few surprises.
Paste Magazine
Andy Crump
The film's gimmick is well-orchestrated and engaging, but it's weighed down by too many contrivances and too much unnecessary pastiche.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Swiftly paced and imaginative with narrative gamesmanship, but it's also nail-biting stuff.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This low-budget noir thriller is more style than substance, with a handful of visual gimmicks supporting a clichd screenplay that hardly seems worth the effort.
Film Journal International
André Hereford
At the outset, Smith's slow-burning thriller is too loosely paced, dominated by longwinded exchanges of some clunky, hard-boiled dialogue.
