About
Detour
"Detour" starts as a tragedy about dying romance but turns into a fascinating black comedy about fate. Love eludes Al (Tom Neal), but death haunts him. Movie particularly picks up when vicious Vera (Ann Savage) starts talking. The anti-romance of Al and Vera is the best thing about this solid but uneven movie. Joined by cruel circumstance, these two bicker like a married couple, but they really just hate each other.
