Detour

Detour (2016), as an Action Thriller with a strong noir sensibility, primarily elicits intense feelings of **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** from the audience, driven by Harper's desperate situation and the constant threat posed by Johnny Ray. The film's unique narrative structure, presenting 'two alternate versions of events,' heavily contributes to audience **Confusion** and **Curiosity**, as viewers are left to piece together the truth of Harper's choices. **Fear** is palpable throughout due to the dangerous journey and Harper's personal peril, while **Surprise** arises from the unexpected plot twists and narrative shifts. Elements of **Anger** (Harper's initial motivation for revenge, Johnny Ray's menacing coercion) and **Excitement** from the action sequences also contribute. **Empathy** is felt for Harper, the 'good guy' trapped in a morally compromising and terrifying predicament, leading to feelings of **Guilt** and a generally **Disturbing** atmosphere inherent to its dark, criminal themes.
