Deviation (2012)
2/10
totally scientifically inaccurate

I was very very disappointed by the end of this movie. It's totally science fiction. So here it is : the girl who is a nurse put 24 tablets of some benzodiazepine in the whiskey bottle. She says when the guy realizes there is something wrong with him that "he's dying from kidney failure, because she drugs him with 24 tablets which dissolve quickly and are tasteless". this is absolutely rubbish : If she is a nurse, she would have known that 24 pills of any kind of benzodiazepine would absolutely not kill a grown man like him. This is just a medical fact. Of course they don't tell us what kind of benzodiazepine it is. We can imagine it's bromazepam as it's prescribed to fight anxiety. Those tablets don't dissolve quickly ( any tablet on the uk market is full of different expedients mostly to avoid injection use in case of benzodiazepine )and are very bitter. Then she kills the guy with the little "toothbrush razors" right in the heart : if you look at the weapon you know for sure it's technically impossible to pierce through warm winter clothes and insert it completely in the heart. So this movie is really for people having absolutely no knowledge at all in medicine but even then, the fact that we see the girl taking out all the tabs lead us immediately to understand she is going to poison the guy thus destroying the " revelation". In a word awful movie.
