Anna Walton stars as nurse Amber. She is introduced while walking and talking on a cell phone. The one sided conversation is annoying. When she is abducted by psycho killer Frank Norton (Danny Dyer) I was hoping for her early demise. Such was not the case. The movie consists mostly of these two individuals in a car playing mind games with each other. Everyone who tries to help Amber gets killed, almost to the point of being comical. The ending has a nice twist (pay attention during the film), but it is debatable if it was worth dragging through the entire film. Good acting. Might work as a rental if you like abduction films.F-bomb, no sex, or nudity.

Danny Dyer, like Michael Cain, seems to suit every role he plays. Don't read any more if you don't want to know about this film.Basically this movie is not so much action packed. It is just Danny Danny acting the bad guy, which I don't like. I found this movie less than engrossing, but none the less very real.Danny Dyer kidnaps a woman, goes on the run in her car, and she ends up spiking his drink, and she knifes him.She then walks away with Danny Dyer lying on the ground, dead.This movie reveals to me how easy Danny Danny, like Michael Cain, seems to fit every role he takes. But I still don't like him playing the bad guy.

Deviation is truly mesmerising viewing, depicting a battle of wits between an on-the-run psychopath and a nurse. The story is impossible to predict, as it twists and turns towards its unexpected climax.Danny Dyer is compelling as the troubled escapee, who wants to start a new life, but circumstances, during the course of the film, do their utmost to thwart him.Anna Walton, as the hostage, imbues her role with intelligence and resolve, hoping to find a crack in her captor's armour.The desolate urban locations were well chosen, adding a bleak impersonal backdrop to the tense human drama.J. K. Amalou directs with poise and assurance, drawing nicely controlled performances from his two leads.This is a great psychological thriller, well worth watching.

Just watched this - I was glad to see Danny in a more serious role than his usual cheeky 'gangster' parts and he acts very well in this film. He does pull off a great performance.There are some truly scary moments and I can imagine the cold reality of being in Anna's shoes as she struggles to reason and escape from her kidnapper.It's not until the very end of the film that you work out Anna's game in a great twist.The most terrifying scene takes place in a cupboard, I won't say anymore, but it will give me nightmares for sure !Compelling stuff. Highly recommended.
