Review of Deviation

Deviation (2012)
3/10
Possibly the slowest movie you can see
31 July 2013
Well, this movie was bad. I thought the premise sounded decent enough; "Told over one horrifying night, Deviation will take you on a white- knuckle journey into the mind of Frank Norton" OK Frank (Danny Dyer) is an escaped murderer. Good start, and he takes a Amber (Anna Walton) hostage. So far, you have a movie brewing. WRONG. After this, it is boredom of silence in between Frank killing people in boring ways for no apparent reason. The film is basically kill scene followed by 15 minutes of silence, repeat, etc. This could be OK if a few things happened like quality kills, or down time of speaking about the "why" thing in his head or some form of humor. NOPE. The acting is so plain it is frightening, and the camera work is subpar for a young child. I must say it is entirely possible the plot was written on a napkin at a bar the night before. Do yourself a favor, avoid. 3.2/10
