Danny Dyer is an enigma. A man not particularly... well, anything at all, and yet he still has a loyal fan base and, even more surprisingly than that, a career.

The only thing weirder, is why I keep watching his films. The Business and Severence were excellent (and I will admit to also like Doghouse), plus he did one about football hooliganism which was just about okay, but pretty much everything else he's done is terrible.

If you read the blurb it says, and I quote: "NERVE-SHREDDING TERROR... DANNY DYER AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE Prepare yourself for one of the most terrifying films of the year. An all-action, adrenaline-fueled bloodbath" I have to wonder why no one's reported the film-makers for false advertising. Perhaps because no one has actually bothered to watch the films? Dyer plays an escaped nut-job who kidnaps a middle class mum and drives her around London while he flips from being nice then nasty to her. Everywhere they stop she tries to escape and fails. Will she get away in the end? I defy many people to actually care.

I like horror and thrillers and there are some real low budget gems out there (try 'Mum and Dad'), but this is not one of them. Repetitive, badly-written and not particularly well acted either.

Avoid.

I felt I had to review this movie to warn other Danny Dyer fans what to expect. Danny unfortunately has been given another cr***y role in yet another cr***y movie.He plays an unconvincing psychopath who has escaped from Broadmoor and taken hostage a female doctor. He kidnaps her in her car and so begins and loooong boring journey into the night with scenes of killing people,random wide eyed stares and crying over the bodies. The female lead is also pants and I could think of plenty of other brilliant British actresses who could have done a lot better job....it seems nobody probably wanted the role. I am a huge Danny Dyer fan but not since Dead Man Running has Danny kept me interested in his movie. He doesn't like to be typecast but after this tripe and Pimp I suggest you do stick with the hardman roles as you play them well.....either that or the comedy horrors such as Doghouse and Severance. Turned off after an hour ...

Can't believe I actually just watched this until the end. This film is bad, really bad, bad acting, bad script. I don't know why Danny Dyer even bothers taking films like this.

Half way through I actually thought it was a comedy, the characters are so dull and as for the guy at the petrol station and the policeman omg. It looked as if the makers had just grabbed people off the street and told them to read a few lines.

Don't bother with this film complete waste of time

I actually think this has finished him as an actor looks like he's only doing it for the money, mind you I don't even think he should be paid after watching this.

I'm a pretty big Danny Dyer film fan, sadly, he ticked no boxes with this role. There was no physiological tension between the two of them, the spaces between were of uncomfortable silence, not suspense. I thought Danny Dyer took this character of Norton to far, it was unconvincing. By 30 minutes in I wanted to turn off, the first Dyer film to do that to me, but I didn't want to waste my £3.80 that I payed to Sky Bob Office, 90minutes of my life I won't get back, and that's not even starting on the ending. Regardless of if what ''Amber'' gave ''Norton'' is realistic or not ''her being a nurse and all..'' is irrelevant, it's more the sheer terrible decision to end it that way, to even include that in the plot. The acting from the other guys is a little left to be desired to, the guy who attacked Norton in the street with a bit of wood, looked like he was tickling him..

Awful.

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
