This is really baaaaad British movie and I hate it! Movie was so boring, no suspense or thrill and pointless. I like Danny Dyer, he tried to do great performance and he failed. His act was different, but too much. Frankie killed people without reason and I didn't like it. Anna Walton (Hellboy II) was OK but she looked boring too. I saw UK Blu-ray and DVD/Blu-ray never available in US. I think it can't show this in US, because it was really awful!!! I wasted my money and 90 minutes...

Up there with the worst films I've ever seen! Dialogue is definitely some of worst I've ever heard. Stay away from this one. Rather watch Jeremy Kyle!

London Evening Standard

No one could call this a notable film, though there is some good location work and a performance from a bearded Dyer that may be a bit over the top but still makes its mark.

Rated: 2/5

Guardian

Bizarrely and excruciatingly acted by Dyer a lot of the time, but actually this film isn't as bad as all that - there is some interesting and atmospheric location work as the pair travel through the bleak urban wilderness.

Rated: 2/5

Poor, but not totally without merit. Dyer's risible performance lingers for all the wrong reasons.

Rated: 2/5

Daily Star (UK)

In Buried, Ryan Reynolds spends the whole film underground in a coffin - child's play compared to what Anna Walton is put through here. She spends an entire night locked in a car with Danny Dyer - while he acts at her.

Rated: 1/5

Daily Mirror (UK)

Thoughtfully chilling and impressively performed, Deviation is a well-sustained thriller.

Rated: 3/5

The Sun (UK)

Should be an edge-of-the-seat thrill ride, but amounts to an unintentionally funny B movie, with Dyer mugging to camera and Walton simpering next to him.
