Detour
Revenge takes a twisted turn for Tye Sheridan
When naive law student Harper (Tye Sheridan, Mud, The Tree of Life) meets up with a barfly grifter and his stripper companion, after a few whiskies he confesses his suspicions—his shifty stepfather (Stephen Moyer, of True Blood fame) was somehow involved in the car crash that has left his mother comatose. By the next morning, Harper finds himself hopelessly entwined with the volatile duo, on a dark road to deception and murder.
Directed by acclaimed writer/director Christopher Smith (Severance, Black Death), Detour employs a split-narrative structure that takes us on a thrill ride full of hairpin turns, where it’s never quite clear what or who can be trusted.
Detour opens in theaters on January 20, and is available to stream on the same date. Watch its twisted trailer, above.
