‘Detour’ Trailer is a Crazed and Manic Thrill Ride

Published

on

A trailer for the cat-and-mouse thriller Detour has come out and can be seen below, along with the official poster.

Harper, 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 and his stripper companion, Cherry. 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.

Detour is written and directed by Christopher Smith and stars Tye Sheridan, Emory Cohen, and Bel Powley. It comes to limited theaters, OnDemand, Amazon Video and iTunes January 20th, 2017.
