“A young law student who, while grieving for his dying mother, struggles to decide whether he should kill his unfaithful step-father.”
From director Christopher Smith, Detour is a stylistic indie drama with an impressive cast of up-and-coming acting talent. The cast includes Emory Cohen (The Place Beyond the Pines, Brooklyn), Tye Sheridan (Mud, Joe), Stephen Moyer (True Blood), and Bel Powley (The Diary of a Teenage Girl). I am a huge fan of Cohen and Sheridan so I am excited to check this one out, the trailer looks pretty damn cool as well. Also it will be interesting to see Stephen Moyer in a role other than that of the vampire, Bill, in HBO's series Trueblood. The release seemed to come out of nowhere so I am crossing my fingers hoping it gets a wide-release, although that is unlikely. Check out the official trailer below.
