Details Rated: R; Genre: Mystery and Thriller; With: Jeff Fahey

Wait a sec, lemme check the map. Okay, yeah, see, look here: You were aimin' for Big Hit Boulevard, right? Okay. And what you did was, pay attention now, you took a wrong turn along about here onto Direct-to-Video Crapola Alley. So, hell, it's no wonder you wound up in a generic heist-gone-wrong flick like Detour; that's basically all they grow around these parts.
Reel Goodies (0:11) Fahey demonstrates the screenplay's linguistic virtuosity by yelling ''F--- you!'' three times in rapid succession.
The Last DetailThis was directed by John Travolta's brother Joey, who appears on The WB's ''Movie Stars'' with Sylvester Stallone's brother Frank.
