Rating:  - Highway to Hell. DVD Comments.
It's a short movie see but not short on thrills. It's gotta be short cause like you out there watching our poor guy Al Roberts doesn't have time either. Time; That's just what he'll be doing if the fuzz get wise to what's happened.
Al is a talented and going no where fast piano player. He's a good guy the kind you only see in old movies, but this isn't just an old movie it's a film noir. Why name it noir? To make it arty. I guess it's better then film black which is what the future ... Read More
Rating: - How to make a movie for nine dollars...
This is the ultimate Grade Z film noir, and a great primer on how to make a no-budget film. The whole thing is as fascinating to watch for the way it was filmed and put together as it is to watch the story unfold. A couple of great performances from nobodies, an object lesson on why you should NEVER assume a dead guys identity, and an almost Grecian sense of fate and tragedy. This holds up as well as Gun Crazy, as there are parts of both movies that seem so electrifyingly contemporary that it is ... Read More
Rating: - "You know, there oughta be a law against dames with claws!" Al Roberts (Tom Neal) couldn't agree more
"That's life," says two-bit loser Al Roberts. "Whichever way you turn, Fate sticks out a foot to trip you." Roberts, played by Tom Neal, is the whining, complaining protagonist in Detour, one of the worst, and best, pulp noirs you'll ever enjoy. And if Roberts doesn't have a good moment in any of the film's 67 minutes, you will if you get a kick out of pulp fiction so ripe it'll remind you of how old Charles Haskell's corpse is. Roberts, a piano player in a New York nightclub, was hitch hiking to ... Read More
Rating:  - A good movie
"Detour" is about a night club piano player who hitchikes his way to California to be with the woman he loves. Along the way a series of unfortunate events happen to him and he becomes trapped in a vicious cycle to cover what has happened. He also has the unfortunate idea to be kind an offer a woman hitchiker a ride. This woman proves to be more trouble than he ever bargained for. So then continues his desperate attempt to cover his tracks and get out of the mess he has gotten himself into. But, to ... Read More
Rating:  - HAHA
I had to respond to all the reviews saying that this movie is masterfully done. This is a great movie only because it's so incredibly terrible. It's funny, it's cliche, and it's definitely not great film noir. I once watched this movie in a college film class as the teacher's joke. I just wanted to straighten that out before I say that I still love this movie because of its obvious low budget bad production and funny antics that are supposed to be dramatic, like when the two lovers are walking through ...
