Detour (1945)

A Minor Film Noir


Well this film is not nearly as good as I've heard and read it was - at least not for me. I've seen better minor B film noirs, I've also seen worse. This one isn't too bad and is worth watching if you enjoy the dark crime films.

*Spoiler*: Al Roberts was not arrested in the end of the film. They only showed him walking (or hitchhiking) and the police showed up, spoke to him and he got in the back of the police car UN-handcuffed. That means the police could have simply given him a ride in the same direction or he could have been brought in for questioning (he may or may not have been charged). The ending is left open to interpretation.

6/10
