Leave your thoughts about Deviation.
| Daily Mirror (UK)Mark AdamsThoughtfully chilling and impressively performed, Deviation is a well-sustained thriller. |
| Little White LiesAshley ClarkPoor, but not totally without merit. Dyer's risible performance lingers for all the wrong reasons. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawBizarrely and excruciatingly acted by Dyer a lot of the time, but actually this film isn't as bad as all that - there is some interesting and atmospheric location work as the pair travel through the bleak urban wilderness. |
| The Sun (UK)Alex ZaneShould be an edge-of-the-seat thrill ride, but amounts to an unintentionally funny B movie, with Dyer mugging to camera and Walton simpering next to him. |
| Daily StarAndy LeaIn Buried, Ryan Reynolds spends the whole film underground in a coffin - child's play compared to what Anna Walton is put through here. She spends an entire night locked in a car with Danny Dyer - while he acts at her. |
| Total FilmPaul M. Bradshaw[Dyer] mugs and swaggers his way through an undoubtedly committed but unfortunately misguided performance. |
| Daily Mail (UK)Christopher TookeyThis can only be recommended to connoisseurs of terrible acting. |
| User ReviewVicky WAwesome film! Danny Dyer is brilliant as ever! |
| User ReviewJames JI really enjoyed watching Deviation. The story, the acting, and the mood fit perfectly. Such a treat watching Danny Dyer play a different role. His performance as Franky reminds me of Brad Pitt's character in in Kalifornia: one minute charming & childlike but can turn violently angry the next. I had only seen Anna Watson in Hellboy 2 and as Amber, she was good in this movie as well. The story is well written and utterly believable. This is not an action movie but a slow burning thriller. We are rooting for Amber throughout the whole film and during each scene we can imagine ourselves acting & reacting exactly the way she does. Just like the movies Red Eye, Cellular, and Phone Booth, the focus is on 2 characters in a nightmare situation and the hero/heroine is a regular person, so the audience is watching how someone realistically copes to save him/herself. |
| User ReviewKarl GIt really shoudn't be but this actually a decent film. Most likely Dyer's best to performance to date. That's not saying much but even so his portrayal as Frankie an escaped psychopathic murderer is not half bad. Taking Amber(Walton) as a hostage he is looking to escape abroad before recapture. The film really benefits from some early morning drives through London from dusk til dawn so to speak. Walton plays her role well and essentially it becomes a road movie & a journey. The dialogue is predictable but efficient and barring a barmy incident with a police officer it's quite a creditable tale. Dyer switches between nice guy/bad guy surpisingly well. On the whole quite strangely entertaining. |
