Deviation (2012)

What a waste of my time!!!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

I enjoyed this film, because Danny Dyer is a superb actor and played the psycho Frankie really well that I could see that he was a troubled person with inner demons.The actress in the lead was also good and the two played off each other well. Frankie escapes from prison and hijacks the girls car and threatens her with his razor and ties her up by one wrist with some plastic bind, then off he drives with her telling her hes going to Kent to an airfield to get a plane to fly off.On their route they come across people who get in Frankie's way and he kills them including a fan of his who follows them and hits a policeman who is questioning Frankie and for his help Frankie cuts his throat! Frankie takes a shine to the girl and tells her of his life and his problems, at a petrol station while hes buying petrol the girl writes a help note and sticks it in a makeup purse and leaves it on the ground hoping someone will help her, but this bloke steals the money and dumps the purse down a grate.The girl does escape but Frankie gets her in the end and off they drive again until he wants to change the car and she stops a passer by and Frankie puts him in the boot of the old car and they steal this man's car, luckily for her she finds the man's mobile and rings her husband and tells him everything while Frankie's in a shop.Frankie of course finds out and is not pleased thinking she likes him so off they go again, she then has some pills for panic attacks and asks him for them and while pretending to swig it she spits it into the bottle and it dissolves then Frankie swigs it and starts to feel weird, he stops the car in the middle of nowhere and there's a chase and she tells him what shes done and that he has not got long to live thanks to these pills to which he feels worse and the ending is she stabs him with his razor and kills him.

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.

This film is full of badly thought-out ideas and is very unrealistic. For instance, Danny's character hijacks a man's car and locks the owner in the boot of a hatchback... it would take the guy seconds to pop up out of the boot and into the main part of the car... Pretty stupid really. Also Danny is very unconvincing in the role as a psychopath, relying on grins, wide-eyed expressions and mood swings to convey his insanity. It looks like something made by teenagers whose only experience of psychos is low-budget thrillers, just like this one. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone. Give it a miss, you aren't losing out on anything worthwhile!

IMO, This film shouldn't have been made at all, it wasn't one of Danny's best!In-fact i think it's his worst one yet and i predict that it will never be watched more than once by anyone, it's that sort of film, it's very boring and nothing really happens, it's the same thing all the way through the film, and the end was terrible, I was expecting more violence, better acting from all actors and a better story line!Granted, Danny dyer plays quite a good insane person, but his acting shines through more when he plays gangster type roles or hard man acting roles!Stick to what you do best Danny, the hard man acting works, this doesn't!
